26th August, Vuda Point Marina, Fiji

After I wrote the blog yesterday evening Orono 1 and T rex arrived in the marina. Orono invited us over for drinks and we ended going to the Yacht Club for dinner via T Rex for drinks. The food was abit disappointing but it was great to spend an evening with Orono and T Rex.
We had heard about a cheap room rate at the nearby resort for yachties when they are on the hard and had been tempted as a treat however as we had decided to haul out for 4 nights we decided it would be too expensive. Orono is a Privilege 495 with a spare cabin which they have offered to us while we are on the hard which we gratefully accepted.

Our aim today was to get Jonnys tax forms completed and couriered to the UK – we managed to get internet this morning and get the information he required to complete the forms. We went to the marina office to see if they could photocopy a letter for us and to ask about the best option for a courier. The lady in the office was very helpful and directed us to the airport for the DHL office.
We got the bus to the airport where DHL had an office and got the form sent.
After lunch on the boat we did boat jobs – de weevilling pasta, cleaning the dinghy and cleaning the front cabin. Orono has a proper vacuum cleaner on board so I was in heaven vacuuming the boat!!
After a busy day we had an early tea and watched a dvd.
