HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!

 

The weather is improving slightly here but we are not yet out the rainy spells.

                                                                                                                      

We went to a house nearby the bay where we are anchored yesterday to buy fruits. The land, it was huge, was owned by a local lady. Her husband, a little funny man was from Vanuatu. He took us all over his land to the various fruit trees to pick them up with us. It was so much fun, especially when he picked up the gigantic pamplemousses. They are so heavy that it is impossible to catch them. Alain and Catherine were with us and he fell in the mud trying to catch one of them. We had a good laugh. We also got avocadoes, limes, bananas and mangoes

 

We were due to have dinner onboard the 5 of us last night and ended up being 9! Two couples, one British and one American from next door boats joined us. I cooked the last of our Wahoo in a coconut and curry sauce. It was good.

 

Today we intend to move to another anchorage on the island 10nm away. PULSION is coming with us which is good.

 

This means that for a while we will only receive falbala {CHANGE TO AT} mailasail {DOT} com emails, probably until we get to Tahiti and have internet connection again.

 

Life is good.

 

Love
