\"dxwu\"After our trip by boat we finally anchored nearby the lagoon entrance. It took a complete day to bring all equipment ashore, dealing with low and high tides in the lagoon.<\/p>\n

We built the radio camp and antennas under extreme conditions. No wind at all during those first days. At night time, the temperature doesn’t really decrease and we have thousands of mosquitoes showing up, looking for fresh meat. Hopefully the two tents are well done. The sea is close but very warm, with sharks coming very close to the shore.<\/p>\n

Prior to the expedition, we worked with satellite pictures. We met on the island a configuration slightly different than expected but we have been able to set-up all antennas as planned. The field around the camp is not a soccer field but rather a place with high bushes (arbustes, broussailles in French) that makes any move a challenge! In addition, there’s spiders as big a mans hand everywhere. That’s Juan de Nova! Meanwhile, the lagoon and sky colors are just amazing!<\/p>\n
