Paw Paw - Log Day 265: Take Two on Our 33rd Wedding Anniversary Dinner



After satisfying our initial curiosity surrounding Port Denarau Marina yesterday evening, we were up early this morning to head to shore again. This time, in search of the yachting facilities and amenities that we needed: A sailmaker to repair our Chicken Chute, a chandlery to replace the broken shackle off our bauberhauler, a supplier to purchase some much needed cleaning products, specifically for rust and grease removal, somewhere to acquire the missing paper charts we need for New Zealand and, the rarest of products, saildrive oil to do the necessary services, following the extensive motoring we have done of late.

After a pleasant breakfast our search commenced. First port of call was the Port Denarau Marina office. It has to be said that this was the most welcoming and helpful marina office staff we have ever encountered. Not only did they point us in the right direction where we found everything we needed, they also informed us that, although we are anchored out, all the facilities of the marina are open to us and the corker, for free - laundromat, showers, garbage disposal, dinghy dock usuage, etc. Just staggering!

With our minds at rest that we could acquire everything we needed, we returned to Paw Paw to tidy up, bake banana bread, make yogurt and get ready for our night out - Reservations at the Rhum-Ba Restaurant at the Port Denarau Yacht Club.

We are happy to report that the Take Two on our 33rd anniversary dinner was a wonderful evening in a lovely setting, accompanied by a delicious meal - A Lobster Feast for Elaine, Bone-In Rib Eye with a Rum and Peppercorns Sauce for Roy. It was definitely worth the wait!
