SavuSavu Darts Champions

Arvind, Sean and Gopen - some of the winning darts team. Planters Club SavuSavu 21st July 2007. NEWS FLASH - we had our pictures in the Fiji Sun newspaper!!

This is Savusavu where we are now.

One of the many stunning ocean sunsets on our trip.







We were given the best part of a large wahoo in Minerva reef by Don on "The Scotsman" - so much that Erin marinaded and dried it on the back deck.

Savusavu

We are enjoying life in Savusavu. In the two weeks since we arrived we have been invited to, and attended, a Hindu wedding and Sean is now a member of the local darts team. Our plans, as always, are flexible but we are aiming to head from here to Koro, then to Kandavu up to Lautoka and the islands of the west. However, Sean would also like to go to the Somosomo straits and the east of Vanua Levu so all of that is still under discussion.

We haven't heard from anyone in Bayswater since the big blow a couple of weeks ago so are hoping all is well.

I'm having problems loading photos but hope to have some pictures up soon.

Finally in Fiji

After a longer than expected trip - 4 weeks - we arrived in Fiji. We did spend 12 days in North Minerva reef waiting for the right weather so I suppose it wasn't so bad.

Savusavu is lovely - really lush and tropical and we are enjoying the change of weather.

More to follow - going to a seminar on village culture.

Erin and Sean

Waiting for weather

We are in Opua in the Bay of Islands waiting for the next good weather window to head north. Not a bad place to wait except for the talk of Polar blasts which sound far too cold - still not reaching us yet. Earliest departure looks like mid week.....

Boat work in beautiful places

We have had a successful trip up the coast of New Zealand with new winches installed (Erin) engine work (Sean) painting (Erin) engine work (Sean) etc.


Fingers and toes crossed we are nearly ready to head North. Until then we will enjoy the lovely Bay of Islands.

On the move - Whangarei

Just a quick update - Whimsey is now in Whangarei Town Basin. Sean is investigating the engine (what's new) and Erin is trying to keep out of Arthurs Emporium.

Whangarei is a 3 hour motor up the river, even at high tide we had about 2 inches under the keel at times so an interesting trip. It is quite lovely and everything is really handy but all the same we plan to be on the move again by the end of the week.
