Holy mackeral! last time i wrote something here was in august! where to begin? Fiji was great! warm and sunny but a bit windy. Pete and Sara got married on the beach which was nice but should also mention the Diane and I renewed our vows again(as you do)
Pete and myself went for a dive over a coral wall,bit choppy on the surface but great once on the bottom.
We had been toying with the idea of buying a launch for a few years so started looking on the net and found this beauty.
Magic was built from wood in 1976 and has a ford diesel motor. Jim helped us inspect the boat before purchase and has been a great help teaching us the ins and outs of big boat handling etc.
So far we have done a little bit of tidying up,paint etc and fitted new carpets.
We have been able to get out for an overnighter and luckily we managed to get 2 days of perfect weather.
We rounded out a very busy 4 months when we went to Vanuatu for a week.great country with warm,clear water.
I also managed to get back on the bike and have had 2 weeks solid riding although we are soon going to get very busy in the store so the bike will be hung up till at least the end of january.
