Paw Paw - Log Day 256: Surreal to be Back in Civilization



It's wonderful to be back in civilization for one reason only - descent internet!

While Elaine spent the entire morning catching up with family, who could actually hear her on the phone for the first time in months, Roy did software updates to every electronic device he could find on Paw Paw. It was so refreshing not having to repeat: "Are you there; Can you hear me" a million times and actually have a descent conversation. Being able to Facetime and see our grandchildren was so special, although upsetting in some ways, as William's little face has changed so much that Elaine didn't even recognise him.

We then spent the afternoon getting the remaining officialdom completed and browsing around the stores before heading back to Paw Paw to get ready to meet Nina and Do Over for another fulfilled evening and delicious dinner at the Clear the Deck restaurant.

We do, however, have a somewhat surreal feeling about being here in Fiji as it's the "end of the line" / "last stop" of our sailing season before heading to New Zealand for the cyclone season, after sailing 10,733NM, just over a third of the way around the world. Unbelievable!
