Well, we safely found our way to the anchorage at Varunggo. To my surprise the Jackpot is an ex West Australian crayfishing boat. Besides myself there are 15 NZ Army, 1 NZ copper, a Dutch Aussie skipper of the boat and 5 crew from Vanuatu.Our job is to sail down the Eastern Coast of the Island and record positions of logging camps and wharfs. If we log all the positions of the wharfs I suppose the NZ defence force will be planning the invasion. I suppose they will be after some rugby players!
It is hot, in fact it very hot. The Kiwi boys have two patrols and alternate landings. There is only one of me, so I go ashore every time. By the end of the first day I am shattered. We end up at the next anchorage a place called Kuma
