5th Sept, Malolo Lailai, Fiji

An early start this morning as Jonny was very excited about the pirates day dressing up - we were dressed and ready by 7.30am!! We had to be on Ishka by 9am so i managed to stall Jonny until 8.30am!!
Everyone looked great in their pirate costumes. On Ishka were Ida and Ian (Ishka), Idas sister Debbie, Ben (Silk Sheets) and his friend Ben, Finn and Reidunor (Hilde), Frank (Menja), Jeff and Kirsty (Nemesis) and Kirstys friend Louise and us.
The start of the race to Beachcomer Island was at 10am - most of the fleet was over the start line and it was abit crazy for a while as we tried to navigate the reefs and avoid the other boats who were trying to get close to throw water bombs!!
We made it safely to Beachcomber where we were attached by Beachcomer Pirates as we landed on the shore.
After our rum innoculation there was a tug of war and a limbo competition which were good fun followed by a buffet lunch.
At 3pm we headed back to Ishka for the journey back to Malolo Lailai. Unfortunately on the way back another boat came to close to try and throw water bombs and ended up scratching the side of Ishka.
Safely back in the marina we had a few more drinks with Ishka before heading back to Newt for dinner and bed.
