Thursday 16th October, that’s it, everything is on board. While 29 passengers are split between the two ships, 16 others embark on the ferry leaving this morning for Kaimana. Meeting point at destination. The ferry’s arrival is planned for Saturday morning. The Airaha 2 and the dhow’s arrival is less predictable: Saturday evening or Sunday morning? Both ships will navigate together to the rhythm of the dhow.

Please note: the blog will not be updated before our arrival in Kaimana, or even in Lobo where we are going to install our first camp.

Our two ships look very good indeed! – Copyright: S. Quérouil / IRD
