Monday, February 20 - day before departure - Still lots to do but I wanted to start this blog so I could leave instructions behind for any who want to follow this trip.
Intention is a 37 foot Crealock design owned by Jim and Alice Marco. You can learn as much as I know I know about it at www.sailvalis.com/intention/about.htm.
As well as Jim & Alice, there will be one other crew member, also from Find-A-Crew.com, and all I know is her name is Lynda.
I will fly Tuesday afternoon to San Francisco, Los Angeles and then to Nadi, Fiji. Arrival time will be 4 a.m. but it will be Thursday. I will have the day to make my way by bus to Suva and stay overnight. The South Seas Resort is recommended. There I board a ferry Friday afternoon which makes an overnight passage to Savusavu where I will meet the boat. Sleeping on deck of the ferry is recommended. And Gondor is the recommended ferry line of the three that run at the same time. Lynda took this route several days ago and it worked for her. They also report great snorkeling in Savusavu.
I do not know how often I will be able to post to this blog, but I will do my best for folks at home.
Now to finish packing.
I have logged onto your blog and will follow your travels. Cheers, Dave
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea. I can now add a new skill to my social media toolbox. I hope you made it to "Intention" with no unexpected adventures. :) I'm looking forward to 'sharing' the journey.
ReplyDeleteHi Don,
ReplyDeleteLooks like you landed on your feet. You enjoy your melting chocolate and your great boat while I go to this weekends indoor boat show - they are calling for snow!
