We spent more time at the resort and the Blue Lagoon.
The weather was very windy when we woke up so we waited awhile to go to shore.
Somewhere in Somo Somo I lost my cool purple and pink sparkly flip flops. So I bought a new pair - lime green. I don't really like that color, but it was the only ones that fit.
Jess got to hang out with the 4 Australian kids again. They were catching hermit crabs.
Brian and I had a lovely lunch of Fiji style club sandwich and fries with fresh squeezed lemonade.
Some friends of Brian's from Vancouver, Canada sailed in on the Mary Powell. He met Steve and Melva during the major 17-day crossing of the Pacific from North America. We went by and they told tales of their adventures since they had seen Brian last. We took Melva with us to shore and enjoyed a long walk on the beautiful beach.
We invited everyone over for a pot luck that evening.
With all the room on the Furthur, it is often used for pot lucks and parties of all sizes.
The Australians had all gone snorkeling and the kids were pretty badly sunburned. So Melva and Steve were our only guests for the evening.
We shared a wonderful meal of grilled tuna prepared by Captain Brian on the top deck. It was accompanied by the macaroni salad I made and the bean and rice dishes brought by Melva. That was about all they had left on their boat that doesn't have refrigeration. Brian calls them hard core. We are living in luxury with granite counter tops, leather upholstery, finished wood everywhere, microwave oven, convection oven, grill, washing machine, 2 heads (bathrooms), 2 state rooms, and we can make drinking water from sea water.
Island hopping is such an interesting experience. You never know if there is a store to add to your provisions. And if there is a store, what you will find there.
Luckily with a boat this size we are well stocked. There are a few things we don't know what to do with. Some cans of things were purchased in Mexico and I don't recognize the pictures or spanish words on the label. Other things were purchased in French Polynesia. Again I don't recognize the pictures or french words.
We have enough spices to last a lifetime. There is a huge population and cultural influence from India, so we have many wonderful spices from local markets.
Our adventures continue,
