We were pretty sad when we were leaving Fiji without True Blue V. They were the ones who had originally put it in our heads to go to The Marshalls, so when they changed their minds and decided to stay in Fiji for the off-season, we were missing their company. However, in true cruiser fashion, guess who pulled into Funafuti just a couple days after we did? That’s right, True Blue V changed their mind again after the Fiji Met report was issued, which warned that the El Nino could cause the cyclone season to be even worse in Fiji this year. So, we were back together with one of our long-time buddy boats after all.
And we had another encounter with a “blast from the past” while anchored in Funafuti. Sally is a woman we met way back in Mexico and we had also run into her in The Marquesas. She crews on different boats and manages to see the world that way. Imagine my surprise when a dinghy pulls up to Exodus and there’s Sally with a warm greeting for us. So, we had a get together on Exodus with all of our old and new friends to catch up and get to know each other better.
A fun get together with old and new friends
