Day 32

Monday 1st June 2009 21:00

Position: 18deg 43min South, 174 deg 05min West � Anchorage 16, Vaka�eitu in Vava�u

This morning Mum and me (Matt) went to the market to buy some fruit and vegetables. We bought paw paw and cucumbers and bananas and lettuce and tomatoes. Unfortunately they had no watermelon. On the way back we spotted Mike the skipper of Tusitala and his new crew he had picked up from the airport to replace Sarah the stowaway. Shortly after we paid for the mooring buoy and left Neiafu. On the way out we saw Bill and Hazel on board Liberation and she kindly gave us chocolates. We then went to several anchorages (the wind picked up and it started raining) but kept moving cause dad wasn�t happy and the beaches weren�t that nice. Ended up in Vaka�eitu with Tusitala and a few other boats we know. Went to the beach and played with the crabs we kept digging up. Made contact with Kairos and hopefully will meet up with them on Wednesday. It was a bit chillier today. The temperature dropped to a low of 27 hahahaha. Not looking forward to coming home to winter.

Matt

  2. From Phil in Cape Town:
    Wow Bradfields what a joy for me to follow your amazing trip. Here I am with Google Earth in one Window and your blog on the other side. I can follow almost your every move following "to where the road ends" on Sunday. It has been and is an absolute thrill, keep up the daily reporting in as much detail as possible, many people love it.
    lots of love
