But only for another day or so.
We’re just waiting for the winds to become more favorable, which should happen maybe Thursday, at which point we’ll head west around the south end of the island.
We're anchored in a nice little spot about five miles away from the industrial port of Suva.
Ann and I are now official cruising members of Royal Suva Yacht Club
Our next destination is Robinson Crusoe Resort. We’ve heard fom others who have gone there that there is a great show including fire walking. I’m not doing that (I don’t think) but I’ll watch. The only issue is its about seventy miles away, so we’re trying to plan a halfway point to stop and spend the night. Two legs of 35 miles (7 hour days at 5 knots) are part of the plan.
So, tomorrow back to Suva for final vegetable supplies and ready to leave Thursday. OK, I admit it, we’re stocking up on rum too as we’re precariously low. OK! OK, beer and wine too! We’re fine on spaghetti sauce though. 😉
P.S. we had a delightful evening catching up with Bob and Linda fom Bright Angel who are anchored about 50 yards away. Had them over for dinner. How fun to catch up and compare stories with folks who we first met in Mexico almost two years ago! Really great to see them and catch up. Two of our favorite people.
Robinson Crusoe resort? What? Does Disney have a new park property in far away islands now? With a tree house and everything? Sounds like maybe you have left the island paradise spots and are now really back in the modern world. Also, after reading your land excursion report, I’m thinking you are much safer sittin’ and a rockin’ on the boat.
Good to know your stock of various libations has been fully restored. Never a good idea to have to spend sailing time worrying over the possibility of running out.
May the winds quickly turn in your favor. I can’t wait for the pictures of the RC resort. And I better not see Mickey Mouse. 🙂
