Neiafu (again!!)

We finally left the mooring at the Ark Gallery at Tapana Island and headed back up to Neiafu. We had a great sail back, winds 15-20. We managed the whole sail with only one gybe and sailed basically to the harbour entrance. It took us a bit of time to find a mooring (anchoring REALLY SUCKS HERE) but we managed to get one on the west side (the quiet side). We decided to get fuel and water sorted today and got it all done. Fuel is not cheap but you have to have it, even on a sail boat. We've had to run the engine for power a lot as we have been on a sheltered mooring with not really much sun. Not much else happening in our life just now other than many get togethers on various boats for dinners and games to pass the time. Mike (Kokoamo) and Ernst (Accord), who are both single hander's have been a riot to get together with. Single handed sailors are definitely a breed apart. Ernst makes a mean lentil curry by the way. We will get a few more chores done tomorrow in preparation for Jan and Tony's arrival on Wednesday.
