 Still at Blue Lagoon. The dirty little secret is 
that I dropped the rope stripper off the self-tailing sheet winch on the stbd 
side overboard while doing some repairs on Saturday. We were kind of happy to go 
without until Allan tried to order one for us - three weeks and $400 later. So 
we stayed another day and Keith off the good ship "Investigator" (the only stink 
boat in the rally) provided two sets of scuba gear and wennt diving with me and 
we found it on the bottom. Superb effort, and we are very grateful. 
Otherwise today has been a busy one, with school 
and the rally bats all arriving. Unexpectedly the council from the local islands 
put on a welcome ceremony, and are having a bit of a fundraiser for their 
elementary school ashore.  
We will head off in company with "Midnight Blue" 
tomorrow to Robinson Anchorage, before returning to Misima (again) for the 
weekend festival there and to pick up Brother-inn-Law Graham on 
Monday. 
As for now, I am going to have a cold beer and 
celbrate our "find:
