We left Darwin on Tuesday about lunch, escorted out by a pod of dolphins until one of them hit their head on the hull and they all then swam away quickly. First night was calm and we were looking forward to the passage. Then after we left the protection of Melville Island the waves and wind picked up and everyone had to find their seal legs again. Feeling very green around the gills nobody ate much at all until we dropped anchor here at Saumlaki at around 23:00 on Thursday. Have a look at the link on the right hand side of this page to see where Saumlaki is, the link is “skipr” Today we cleared with immigration and quarantine and had a look around the town. Amy was feeling pretty special as heaps of people wanted their photo with her and a group of small children following her around and some of the small boys yelled out in English “I love you Amy”. Tomorrow we are heading to a wood carving village with a local guide and interpreter which sound amazing. The people here obviously don’t see many tourist as we soon had a small crowd (of mostly kids) around us watching when we stopped a stall, everyone here is super friendly and the officials were great. We’ll try and get some photos up at the hotel which has wifi and cold beer!
