At anchor at Kiritimati

This morning at 9.10am, after 4 3/4 days Passage, we safely dropped anchor at Christmas Island. In the meantime I cleaned the boat and went into the water to cool down and refresh. Just now, at noon, finally the officials called us on the radio to come pick them up at the beach. Marcus is in his way.
It's not a good anchorage nor is it good to get to land. We're outside in the waves. Marcus and I want to go on to Hawaii as soon as possible, which is either tomorrow or in a week. This could mean christmas at sea...Will keep you posted.
