Tunung life

The second dive on the Sanko Maru was great too. I rang my Nadia on her mobile from Clem's satellite phone and spoke for 1 minute, 15 seconds! She got the roses I'd arranged.

We're going to Chapman's Reef tomorrow - by all accounts, it should be stupendous.

Lunch was good again, simple including coconut rice.

It's raining again and there are were whitecaps on the sea as we made our way back from the dive. Since lunch, I've been trying to help Clem get his satellite phone working as a modem, so he can send and receive emails. There are no other forms of telecommunications available in this whole district. He has two very old and very virus-infected laptops.

I washed my clothes too - they're hanging on my hammock.

The reef rumbles, birds chatter, generator whirrs and the rainclouds are heavy on the horizon.

Tunung Highway is the name of the path to the other end of the island - there are only 5-6 houses altogether, in 3 groups.
