Today I will reorganize my stuff and become a Fiji Back Packer once I find a suitable base. I would like to explore tis island for a week and perhaps get to Tavenui by ferry then get back to explore the main islnd before making my way to the airport April 1.
I am running low on battery so this will have to be short.
Jim has finally accepted that his boat can go no further. We are anchored off Split Rock not far from Savusavu and must return to port this morning. Solar cells cannot keep you going on dead batteries. I get a good refund which will help pay back packing expenses.
I did manage to get a few underwater shots of the fish at Split Rock although the water was not as clear as usual. I may try again before we winch up the anchor although I will have to shave off my mustache to prevent my face mask from leaking.
Sadly, Shaun died in the night of his burns in the explosion and fire.
More news when I get set up on land.
I commend you for being flexible and carrying on inspite of the boat being a dud. The backpacking sounds like it could be fun although not what you went for, but you will get to see Fiji from a different perspective. What is Lynda going to do? Very sorry that Shaun passed away from his injuries, but they will be together again now.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your land excursions but still be careful, a whole new set of safety issues backpacking, I expect.
Take care, Love, Dave
