Small and very scenic with lovely people. This is also the home of Carlos on the immunization team.

Carlos and his Mom.

Traditional house. Some have solar power. They are roomy inside with rafters tohang the very possessions.

Water tank by a house. Some homes are concrete. Those with a concrete roof are "typhoon proof".

The Catholic Church. The women and I also met on the porch for our talk.

 Frigate.

Thomas. Everyone thought he was retiring, so hence the nu-nus and celebrations for him. It was fun. He said he would still like to  work a couple more years. But we all enjoyed the good food!

Ali, his wife Martina, Melissa and Carlos inside the dispensary.

Tonight we had fresh sashimi – yellow tuna. Carlos went AWOL. Tended to a few sick people on board. Visited with Sissy from Satawal – baby sitter for Tommy, Reina, Honora, and Theo. Then we anchored at 7:54 in Woleai Atoll near Falalop-Woleai. Five boats of happy people came to pick up loved ones and family. Many if not all climbed aboard the ship – literally – without using the rope ladder. Very impressive. Just watched in amazement at the agility of the kids and adults. Met Sissy’s nephew who teaches high school math and sciences. Seems like a really nice guy but too young for Melissa. I took her out to check him out. Finished the night with some work. All in all a great day.
