Flomaida II - 9.-14.6. Parkplatz Musket Cove- Nachtrag! in Entwürfen hängengebliebener Bericht vom Juni, den ich Euch nicht vorenthalten möchte- sorry!



There are certainly worse Park / waiting places!
After Christoph repaired the Genuafurler to zigstenmal
had (he may have in his sleep and his head now !!), the
faulty alternator was reinstalled, the riggers, the new lower shrouds
had been recovered and thereby the electric Winch had been broken, did
we finally start to the days of waiting for spare parts in Musket Cove
spend. But since the riggers came with the police and wanted our ship to
let put the chain until we paid is his COMPLETE invoice. We
wanted to pay him minus the spare parts for the destroyed Winch. His
version also opposed to police: We were there when he worked
had (which was not true), and we had carved with a hammer on the Winch!
We could even take a chance on a negotiated !! Yes you can you
imagine Christoph with his "patience"! Just before Escalate we have
checked off and paid the bill the matter. When we finally all
had been cast off, to drive off, we noticed that the
bow thruster would not retract, so back to the mooring with the
feeling that supernatural forces simply want to spoil sailing us. But
once checked and pulled the relay, helped this time, and we were finally able to
go. 

Far was unfortunately not possible, since we're on the 12 volt charger from NZ
have to wait. So drove / we sailed the 12 miles to Musket Cove, a
particularly beautiful bay and a very tasty Resort.Da the mainsail
does not extend properly made ​​(eg since the outhaul broken
was), only with Genoa and mizzen. Alex was then pulled into the mast to the
inspect mainsail. There were two battens broken ... because
it is normal that the sail is not running properly!
There fascinated me totally that the panorama of the islands me spontaneously to
remind Toscana: Rolling hills with browns and blacks, etc.
Also, we very healthy coral and many colorful little on the nearby reef
coral fish beschnorcheln. Good internet and relax at the salt water pool
has been sometimes its charm and is enjoyed by us. Still hope
we to Maike can show a little more of Fiji as the Marina
Denerau and Musket Cove! This is probably the sailors fate that we almost
never can plan ahead!
