Hi Rafael Sounds like it has changed little over the years then. I spent a lot of time there in the 80's. mostly up at Gizo, on diving trips. Beautiful area. Was able to spend a day on the Island that the future President Kennedy swum to when his PT boat sunk. A lot of fascinating history in the area.
I would like to see your GPS Traces, I guess they are listed under your user name???
