Remarks:
Wind slowed by noon yesterday so recovered vanes
and tried to make Maug tomorrow before dark but
at 19:00 decided won't make it so headed for
Agrhan instead. Arrive Agrihan 10:00 and anchor
in nice black sand beach. Locals came over and
invited us for a meal of coconut crabs so going
over to their place at 15:00.
