From Pat:
Much better satellite access today and we talked for quite a while. They are learning so much about ordinary day-to-day life on Nikumaroro from the resources they’ve found in the archives. This kind of background is absolutely essential for understanding the Seven Site and what we’ve found there. One real gold mine: A Manual of How To Set Up A British Colony (that’s not its title, but that’s what it is). How to build a village, how to build a house, where to put things, what to do when this or that happens. They are photographing each page and we’ll be able to process the images here when they get back and get it all on line.
A meeting with Tukabu Teroroko, the Director of the Phoenix Islands Protected Area (PIPA), and others in the government, is scheduled for later today so they can present our formal report on Niku VI. (Find PIPA on Facebook as well.)
And for something completely different: each morning Ric is spending an hour or so writing the opening chapters of Finding Amelia Book II. We hope to be able to start publishing excerpts in the very near future. Click on the logo to read more.
