We’d had enough of the rainy micro climate in Savusavu so it was time to move. We made one trip ashore pick up some fresh fruit and veg before heading off. We motored west to Lesiaceva Point where the Jean Michael Cousteu Resort (and free internet) is.
Here we had a leisurely day. The weather was better than in Savusavu where we could see it was raining frequently. We all went of on a snorkel together. Unfortunately, the moorings for the boats from the resort have disappeared since last year so we couldn’t find a particularly decent spot. Nevertheless it was good to get wet. Paul went snorkelling from the kayak a couple of extra times as he’s trying to pack it in before he leaves today.
As it was Paul’s last night with us, and in fact Fiji, we dined on a BBQ off the back of the boat. This involved replacing the igniter I’d bought ages ago which turned out to be a lot trickier than anticipated. Fortunately, and with Sam’s help, the job was completed without any mishaps. Working off the back of the boat is nerve wracking as one wrong move means a tool or essential part is lost overboard.
After this we settled down to watch a couple of TV shows before we fell off to bed exhausted.
Today may end up being a pretty busy one. The generator needs an oil change and the new engines are close to their first 50 hour change. So it seems a good idea to get all that done today. Messy work.
In the mean time, here are a few pics provided by Paul
