>From 24/4/13:
Hi Folks,
Time for another update. As some of you are aware we decided to pop home for
a week to sort a few business issues and attend biannual exhibition and
conference. Bit of an epic trip stop, leaving the yacht at 8am on Friday
12th and after 4 flights not getting to UK home until 8pm on Sunday 14th!
Still week went well and now back from fairy land into the real world!! For
those that we didn't manage to get to see we apologise - really was a very
busy week and hopefully see you eventually! xx
We've ended up being carrier pigeons and have loaded up with treasures for
some of our fellow travellers (luggage came to 4 x 23kg bags in total),
including some exotic spices which managed to free themselves all over
Trisha's new outfits - not a happy girl, esp as one stain looks like skid
marks down her new jeans - Oh dear!
So having met up with Proteus crew last night for a nice meal at possibly
the only hotel on Nuka Hiva it's time to say so-long and move on - next stop
possibly one of the most beautiful places in the world - the Taumotu islands
which are a group of coral atolls in the middle of the pacific, most with
small channels into the central lagoon areas and turquoise blue waters for
snorkelling and diving. So we're aiming for one of the bigger coral island,
Rangiroa, which we should reach in circa 3.5 days all being well!
So better get the boat ready and weigh anchor - send you all some piccies
when were there
Luv
Paul & Trish
