July 10, 2002 - WE'RE BAA-AACK!!

Pulled into Au Chalong Friday morning at 2:30 am (July 5). Trip went well, no major weather hassles, no big boat breakages; 1939 miles in 14.645 days and 2 yellowfin tuna!

Got into my Email account yesterday, and to my dismay found that the account had reached its space allotment on June 2nd. This was because (I am doing a LOT of assumption here) we received 23 messages of over 150K each! They were that big because all of them had 2 attachments - no message, just the attachments. I didn't recognise any of the senders at first, but in looking at the sender addresses and finding one message from a person in Guam who was advising us not to open any attachments from her because of a virus, I can now see that some of the Emails had recognisable Guam input. So - think that the mentioned virus may have just singled us out to dump stuff on. Or something.

It is blowing a "hoolie" out there today. Anchorage not comfortable, with chop and SW swell migrating in and rolling us about. Too windy for the awning, so plenty hot, and occasional rains keeping cockpit wet and hatches closed. BUT...mangoes, oranges, bananas, lettuce tomato, cukes, sweet corn! asperagus! and lots of shoreside goodies we were missing in Chagos. So life is still good.
