Motu Logan 12 June 2010

In case anyone wants to visit, I thought I’d follow up with the coordinates for Motu Logan on Amanu Atoll.

Also I was reading Typee aloud with the kids yesterday and came across some great advice from Melville. He gives it after describing his escape from the ship in Nuku Hiva, a miserable first night and a couple long harrowing days trying to make way in that unfriendly terrain. Logan was listening raptly and nodding:

“…and I recommend all adventurous youths who abandon vessels in romantic islands during the rainy season to provide themselves with umbrellas.”

I told him he should have finished Typee before we left Nuku Hiva!
