Fortunate Pilgrims

28 November 2009

After departing from Anna and the not-so-regal Royal Suva Yacht Club we heading SW for the Bega Lagoon. The small resort at Lalati provided an afternoon of carefree snorkelling on one of the outer reefs. Judy's has photos on her Facebook page. We spent 3 nights in Bega and then headed once again for Robinson Crusoe Island for a Thanksgiving rendezvous with Scarlett O'hara, Deviant and Endangered Species.

Although the island was down to a skeleton crew, manager Wayne and his staff supported our putting together a Thanksgiving feast which included a few house guests from Argentina and Chile, a couple from Australia, the Fijians and assorted yachties. It was a wonderful, eclectic experience dining on the beach. Judy will submit photos soon; some great shots.

We're back at Vuda Point now putting the boat together for our trip to New Zealand.
