Anchored in Gizo Harbour

Assembling the komodo on deck
Extracting the Komodo out of the cabins
After 8 days passage in the Coral Sea ( see http://www.kunayacht.blogspot.com/ for diary), the KUNA arrived safely in Gizo and it is time for the Komodo tobecome operational. Ever wonderd how to fit a 7 meter double kayak inside an 11 meter yacht ? Breakdown is the secret! In order to have the decks clear during a very windy passage, 3 of the four part of the kayak were stored in the cabins down below. The stern was kept on deck as a convenient storage hatch for sail straps and ropes.
Now, safely anchored in harbour, we assembled the Komodo for use as a tender. Good way to mix with the locals, as it looks like a custom canoe, except for the color!! We loaded her with fruit and veg and refueled the boat: discovered one can store a 20L jerrican in the front and aft hatch, very useful in this country!!
