After saying good-bye to mom, we spent a very hectic day and a half in the Denarau marina. On Friday, we divided and conquered. I took the bus to immigration to extend our visas and hit the New World grocery store, Tim fixed the port saildrive (yes, again!) and the boys rinsed and brite boy’d all the stainless. The most important thing on my to do list that day, though, was happy hour at 5:00, because there were friends to catch up with that we hadn’t seen in a while. Just like when we arrived in Savusavu a couple months ago, pulling into this basin and seeing True Blue V tied up to a mooring felt a little like coming home. Yesterday we took a family bus ride into Nadi to go to the market for some fresh fruit and veggies and then we motor sailed as far north as we thought we could get in good light. We are currently anchored on the east side of Waya Island, and if there was any wind to speak of this would not be a good anchorage, but it means when we raise anchor later this morning, we will be that much closer to the manta ray anchorage where we will catch up with a gathering of kid boats.
Hope all is well with everyone back home,
Love and miss you all,
D.
