Mon Aug 9 4:10:27 EDT 2010, Pacific Ocean, Outside harbour of Suva, Fiji, Day 7
August 10th. Lots of paperwork this morning for various agencies following Border Control and Customs Authority clearance. Traveled by taxi to town to do currency exchange for fees and to grab some lunch. Aboard Selkie, leaving Suva, Fiji for western part of island, expecting to get there around 5:00pm tomorrow. Feeling a bit nostalgic since this is our last sail before flying to New Zealand on Friday. It has been an incredible journey!
