We joined Sunchaser, Christine Anne, Contrails (American boat - Jim and Barbara - we met in Nuku Hiva), Hocus Pocus (Swedish boat - Mats and Ullla - we met in Nuku Hiva) and Relax (German boat - Carmen and Ralph) in the anchorage as well as 4 other boats in front of us in the lagoon at Manihi.
After dropping the anchor Russ joined us for a cup of coffee and caught us up on some of the gossip.
Jonnys first job was to wash out the very muddy anchor locker whereas mine was to do battle with the weevils in the front cabin. Bags of pasta from Panama had weevils in so the locker needed to be emptied, cleaned and some of the bags de weeviled!! After the de weeviling we had a much needed swim!! No sign of any sharks but there are shark look a like creatures called Remoras who like to live under the boats and suck at you to clean you!!
We had a nice afternoon before heading ashore at 4 for sundown drinks and to burn rubbish. All the boats in the anchorage came ashore and it was nice to meet some new people. We headed back early as we were both sleepy and looking forward to a good nights sleep.
