Leaving the Solomons

We are in Noro today about to clear out of the Solomon Islands and head to Kosrae in the Federated States of Micronesia -north of the equator. Unfortunately, there is not much wind and I expect we will be doing a lot of motoring. We filled up with diesil yesterday with a leaking hose while holding up the local trading ship, although nobody seemed at all worried, either about the copious amounts of spilled diesil or the wait for us to get off the wharf. Lucky we got in first as another boat came afterwards and didn't leave until after 5 pm.
