Hi all
Mick Lea now sending this first log from Fiji
Steve and I arrived at Musket Cove 0830 on 2nd July after 29 hours travel-Weather just fantastic and Bob and Dawn Kingham were waiting as the 6 seater brought us into Fiji wonderland-They look really well and tanned to perfection. All moved onto Kasuje who was waiting for us in the Marina just 8oo yards from the grass runway.
Thursday we set about Steve's maintenance programme and we had a good day sorting out the engine/generator (service), fitting new alternator and Steve still has all his skin on his knuckles, he came out the engine room once absolutely dripping with sweat plus choice words of advice to designers of engines-the cooker was re gimbled, the toilet at the bow was fixed. Bob and Dawn did a re provision, we are like a floating Tesco's.
After such a good work day we went across the lagoon to swim off another beach, fantastic warm water, not like Aran ( Jim and Alan )
Went to spit pig roast in evening and this was followed by local singing and dancing, brilliant, guess who forgot his camera.
Tomorrow's another day in paradise, oh and then the sailing starts !!!
Regards to all
Mick Lea
