Baby Joseph with Aunty Chima.

Yesterday we were on a mission to drive to Suva with David to go pick up Jiu and Joseph. We made it to Suva around noon (about a 4 hour drive) and were back to Orcinius by 5pm. It was a long day - lots of driving, but Jiu and Joseph are doing great and all settled in back home. While in Suva, we met 2 more of Tau's sisters, Chima and Toopau (I know I am not spelling it write, but that is how it sounds). And we got to surprise Pooray! Tau's mom who we last saw in Fulaga last year! Very fun to see her again!

So it was mission successful yesterday!
Today more work on Orcinius. John and Malo spent the morning cleaning up the mast over at Cannibal Johns, then put the tramps back on in the afternoon, and some A/C work at the end of the day. Looks like a leak in the A/C so the cooling guys will have to haul the entire unit back to the shop to fix.
I unloaded 3 suitcases and some how found places to put it all.

So that's the latest from Fiji - time for a beer!
