Sorry for the delay in posting. We were out at sea and then had no way to connect to the internet for awhile. I'm making several more posts all at once.
Here is the first . . .
We went back to the marina at Vadu Point.
There we met up with several of Brian's cruising friends. Many he met before "the crossing" or "the puddle jump." That is the 2850 mile crossing of the Atlantic to the Marquesas. Brian did it in 17 days 7 hours on the motor vessel Furthur. Most people are sailing, so depending on the weather, it can take significantly longer. Several people took over 30 days to make the crossing.
We spent several days based at the marina.
Each afternoon we hung out at the pool at First Landing Resort.
Jess made many friends there: a couple from Australia. The husband was Australian. The wife was from Egypt. He also played water games and sports with an older boy from Columbia. They hung out together for several days. I went to the pool one afternoon and found Jess there playing water games with 3 girls his age.
I also met several people at the pool. Most were other cruisers staying at the marina next door. One woman from Virginia brought a large bag of water aerobics things every afternoon. She was healing from an injury of some kind. She and her husband had been cruising for the past 11 years. They spent 6 years in the Caribbean and had now been in the South Pacific for 3.
My tan is so well established by now that I've dropped the sunscreen and am now using this luscious lotion made in Fiji using virgin coconut oil. My skin loves it. It comes unscented or with watermelon, pineapple, coconut, and 2 different flower aromas. I purchased a few bottles - several being watermelon.
Fun in the Sun,
Debbie Takara Shelor
