On the 12th May 'The girls' arrived to join 'the boys'.  The yacht was found in amazing order, washing hanging out, bunks changed, soles hoovered.  The yacht was in Diamaru Marina.  We all arrived at different times, I was supposed to have been the last to arrive but Jenny's flight was delayed by three hours.  We eventually got to the yacht by 9p.m after a drive through pot holes, unlit badly marked roads and very weak headlights. Out for dinner.
We were up early the next morning to head to the market in Nandi to buy veg' and fruit for the yacht and Kava root to present to village chiefs when we visit remote villages which we hope to do.  
We are now anchored off Manta Beach Bay and have done some snorkelling but no Manta Rays seen.  Very hot, very beautiful and very humid. 
Water aerobics for the girls this morning before breakfast... Water temp is perfect.
