A small world made smaller by the internet and the fickled finger of fate.

We came home from GR early this year to go to a friend's wedding. A few days after the wedding I got an email from a guy (Auzie Mike) that I hadn't heard from since the early '70s. He was in Fiji and needed crew to help get his boat to Auz. The plan was to take a couple months crawling through the Fiji, Vanuatu, and New Calidonia island groups on our way. It took Lou about 10 minutes to convince me that it was a good idea and a couple days later I was on a plane with a few spare parts and a pair of shorts. We were headed for Bundagerg, Ql. and guess what, Fraiser Island was our landfall some 78 wonderfull days later.

Here are some pictures with of course a bit of coment.

Stocking up food was a cultural event

The local fruit and vegies were great .
Flower markets are part of the market scene.


Locals had fish and fruit for sale in lots of the coves where we anchored.


Steve is jiving with the locals and buying SupSup and mangos.
