Ymmmmm - lots of sticky fingers
On Saturday morning I volunteered for my final time at the Library Club, as the kids are now on school holidays. It was very sad to say goodbye to the kids that I’ve read with and come to know so well this past month.
Very keen students, especially for a Saturday morning.
Of course, the high point of this week was having Peter return to QuickStar on Tuesday. After a gruelling 36 hour trip that started in Nanaimo with a car, ferry, another car, the SeaBus, the SkyTrain to Vancouver airport, then 4 flights to get here - ending with us picking him up at the airport. He slept for 12 straight hours but was back to normal the very next day, when we went out for a lovely “Welcome Back” dinner. It was nice to have my first gin and tonic and a glass of wine since Peter left.
Fresh lobster
We had hoped to go diving with Two If By Sea, but they have had a bit of a glitch with their license that hopefully will be resolved by next week, so we can dive for two days before we start heading to Fiji on Friday. We have friends joining us to help crew for the friendly race tonight in the harbor. Peter is still in “race” mode after they finished 5th in their division for the Van Isle 360. He said he loved it – very challenging both physically and mentally and he had a wonderful time with the guys (and all the support crew).
Tomorrow we will be sailing out to the outer islands, hopefully seeing a humpback whale, as they are starting to arrive, and going to a Tongan feast. We will be making the most of our final week here in Tonga, which has been our favourite destination to date (yes, I know I say that about all the countries we've been so grateful to have visited!)
If you need to get in touch with us, we will be checking our Ham radio email daily. Just remember no attachments or graphics, please. VA7UOC@winlink.org
Until next week….Put a smile on your servers face…next time you order a drink ask for diet water!
