Captain Craig De Wit of MV Golden Dawn in PNG was nice enough to visit our office in Bangkok recently to say hello. (Actually, he needed help getting a new gadget to work, and no one else cared.)

We were, in turn, nice enough to take him out to dinner, and also to introduce him to Khun Plub from our Dive Diary column, since he told us he was a big fan of hers. (Actually, we were being nice just because we’d like to go on his boat.)

Much to his surprise (but necessarily to ours), Plub wasn’t quite sure where PNG was, so the first part of the evening was spent trying to help Plub figure out why Craig had an Aussie accent when he was from an entirely different country.

“All’s well that ends well”, as the saying goes. Craig got his gadget fixed and Plub now knows where PNG is. Amazing how much we can accomplish in one evening, isn’t it?
