Jocara Newsletter
June 22, 2005

Jocara picked up just enough wind to sail and arrived at the entrance to 
the Pass to Gan an hour before sunset on 20 June.  Battling an outgoing 
current with failing wind on the way in past thundering breakers provided 
some excitement, but now we are safely at anchor inside the atoll and have 
already found a friendly and willing mechanic to help us tear apart the 
engine, spreading big, black greasy parts all through the boat.  Jocara 
now lies at anchor in a tiny inner protected anchorage just 4m deep right 
next to the causeway between Gan and the next island, Feydhoo at 0 deg. 
41.1'S, 073 deg. 08.6'E
