Glamorous Galah - Frigates pass



Bernie headed off to the airport on Tuesday to celebrate his son Nathan's 21st birthday, and to catch up with family.

Dave & I left the Royal Suva Yacht Club where Dave's backpack and laptop were stolen. We had locked the boat but we surmised that the thief used a boat hook through the small cabin top hatch above his bunk. Police were informed and questioned a suspect, but no joy.

We anchored off Yanucca Island and were greeted with a fire dance and school choir. We dined at the small resort and organised a boat trip out to Frigates Pass for the morning. Despite the fresh trade wind, the waves were reasonable and we enjoyed surfing the lefts with Ross from Coco Beach Florida and John from New Zealands Dunedin.

Juba anchored nearby just on sunset and Eve came ashore for dinner and a chat with John's parents Mike and Hattie. There was also beer and a single malt Irish whiskey involved!

This morning we weighed anchor at 0800hrs and have a trade wind astern to drive us to Robinson Crusoe island.

Ted
