We’re now up in the Blue Lagoon, famous for the movie of the same name which was filmed here and on Turtle island to our north east.
The winds were not our friend on the way spending most of the time too close to our nose to sail effectively. We therefore had the motors running all the way up.
When we arrived the bilge pump was off again so another round of squirting grease into the shaft seal was in order. It’s good to know it can work. While testing I noticed a slight knocking sound timed with the shaft rotation. I’ll have to go and inspect the prop and shaft on the outside to see if anything is obvious up there.
We anchored right next to Scream who have been here for two weeks and are desperate to leave as they’re short of provisions. We soon had them over and shared a little of our extras so they can take their time returning. We ended up eating ashore at the Nanuya Island Resort. The food was pretty good and reasonably priced considering the location. It was good to hear that one of Darusha’s books has recently been nominated for a Parsec Award.
We’ll probably hang out here for a few days. There’s a few things on my list of things to do on the boat. I could get it all done in a few hours if I put my mind to it but I think I’ll spread it all out over a few days.
