Join me aboard the Lien Pukial as we journey 188 miles from Weno in the Chuuk lagoon to the Mortlocks. This trip, we’re traveling like the locals. I'll share a tour of the vessel, stunning scenery, the challenges of open water travel, and the joy of returning to Moch Island.
❗️DISCLAIMER❗️
Traveling to the Mortlock Islands is incredibly difficult for a foreigner. There are no hotels or hostels to stay at; you must have an invitation from a local individual or family. I am able to share this experience with you because, from 2013-2015, I lived with a host family on Moch Island during my Peace Corps service. I have maintained positive relationships with the family and community at large over these years.
