A chap has just turned up to fumigate the boat. I have no idea why. We have
no bugs. Seems to be some sort of official requirement.
Heike joined the crew yesterday. All ready for one of the longest stretches
of open water on the planet. Heike has already taken charge of provisioning
and Colin and myself were used as pack-animals at the local Farmer's Market
early this morning. Provisioning here has been difficult as the only
supermarket is not so super and has been virtually cleaned out.
Departure for the Marquesas is tomorrow.
