Position: 18deg 43min South, 174 deg 05min West � Anchorage 16, Vaka�eitu in Vava�u
We were woken up in the early morning to gusty winds, pouring rain and lightning. So me and dad didn�t get much sleep ( had to check we were saftely anchored every couple of hours ). Had pancakes for breakfast � made ones with oats in them, super filling. It continued to be overcast with rain for most of the morning, so we decided to stay put in this protected anchorage. It was the first time it actually felt cool, the temperature dropped to 26 degrees, Dad�s happy, the rest of us are all feeling chilly! Mum then made everyone do homework for a few hours - that went down really well, and washed our Sunday clothes as our white shirts were no longer white after our busy, long hot
Sunday! After that Mum and Dad went for a walk with Rebekah and found the remains of a resort on Vaka�eitu island, less than five years ago it was a fully functioning restaurant with Austrian food, fresh apple strudel etc and fales, quite sad really, not sure whether they couldn�t make it viable or whether it was wrecked in a cyclone. Me, Em, Tom and Abby stayed behind and tidied the boat then watched CSI: Miami (one of the tv series� given to us by Rick and Robin on Endangered Species ). For dinner we had burritos with more pancakes for dessert. Rebekah�s new friend Arwen, a 6 year old from Tusitala (stowaway Sarah�s cousin), came over to play and is sleeping over. Early night for everyone tonight.
