We run in along a coral
reef and at length enter
channel between two reefs
and with low stone pyramids
to beacon passage. Anchor
close to town and are visited
by quarantine boat who take letters
in their box. Lie two days with
quarantine. Ship fine. A great
farce. On third day we get "pratique" and all
busy on shore.
