We are back on the mainland after sailing the islands for the last 3 weeks. We set sail again today, headed for the northern island of Fiji, Vanua Levu.
The last few weeks have been filled with more fun and adventure. We met up with friends from Australia, Terry and Christine on s/v Sedna. [...]

Although we ended up being at the dock for 2.5 weeks we are still enjoying Fiji. Currently Shellette is surrounded and dwarfed by several Mega Yachts….wait til you see the pics. As we waited for some boat parts we met up with some boat friends from Brazil and made new friends from [...]

Mike and I returned to Port to take Amie and family to the airport last week. We remain here as we are waiting for parts…a popular past time for boaters….
We are getting lots of work done on the boat and making new friends along the way. We expect to leave in the next [...]
