Yes the Nauru Funafuti flight would run every other week in the early 80's. If the winds were bad they would only take passengers one way as the cargo & mail had priority. So you could be stuck at either end for weeks - I knew someone who spent 6 weeks in Funafuti - the only option was to go Fiji (not a daily service then) - change airports - Brisbane - Singapore - Manilla- Nauru - which would take at least a week maybe two .......
The accommodation on board was ..."rustic"
