Working on the bad motor. Man on right with hands withdrawn just touched the sparking plug.
Leaving Kwaj, headed for Rongerik.

I remember speaking to a weatherman on the flying bridge. He told me that the cloud formations over land were different than formed over the open sea. So if I was ever lost at sea I would know which way to sail or row in order to find land. He pointed out some clouds and told me that land was in that direction. I have always remembered that conversation but never put it together with our trip to Rongerik. Now it becomes clearer. BC
