Sailing from Simons nature reserve to Honiara, the capital of the Solomon islands to stock up and to get some Solomon dollars. This anchorage in front of a japanese Sushi place and the rowing club is convenient because it is close to town but it is very rolly and close to the breakwater too….

We do like Honiara but a thunderstorm might come soon so let's sail through the night to the nearby vulcano Savo island

On route from Honiara to Savo island the engine started vibrating. Turn around? No, better repair it in a quiet anchorage
