08*07′.009S/157*06′.681E, we were here a week or so ago, this is where we met the guys that were our boat guards in Gizo. One of them came by tonight to visit. He brought me a thing for my hair he had carved. Some young girls paddled out with flowers, I have bird of paradise, orchids […]
PT109 Now I know how sir Hillary felt on the mountain top. How John Glen felt when he stepped into the space capsule. I’m talking about the emotional high that comes to anyone who completes a life long goal. After months on the high seas, many countries, much paper work, tsunamis, escapes from pirates, sharks,
Liapari Lagoon is a beautiful setting, but snorkeling was not so great, did see some clown fish in ankle deep water, some were on a blue anomie, prettiest blue I’ve ever seen. No good pix though, every little move stirred up the bottom, just too shallow. I could enjoy cause they said crocks were across

Starting yesterday morning at 7am Jim started making a mess. Mud crabs were the first thing in the morning. He decided to cook and clean them IN THE KITCHEN!!!!! He wouldn’t even let me in there, the smell of cooking crabs first thing in the morning was a little more than my stomach could stand.,
The past two days have been the type of days we thought we would have cruising the South Pacific. Five to six hours of nice calm deep blue water, islands with palm trees and moutains in the back ground. Being able to enjoy the fly bridge and bow of the boat. Then tuck into a
08*02′.143S/157*35′.540E, staying here over night heading on North in the AM. We are still traveling with MV Lizzie, Asylum has stayed back enjoying some great diving. We were told this harbour has crocks, no snorkeling for us this afternoon. All is well on Special Blend, Martha
Super salesmen In the US of A we all dread the day we have to actually go and purchase the car that we have been dreaming about, checking out the ads for, talking to others about, and making list of what we can do without to make the payments. We know that when we approach
