1st September, Vuda Point Marina, Fiji

A busy day of socialising today. The marina is filling up with people we have met on our travels as there is a big regatta at one of the nearby islands next week that alot of people are attending - they are expecting over 70 boats.

Christine Anne returned to Fiji with a new spinnaker and sock so there old sock was donated to us as we have sailed from the UK without one. Using the spinnaker without one has been manageable but we had had to be very conservative about the wind strength we use it in otherwise it gets to hard to take down - with the sock this should be much easier.

We went out for dinner with Christine Anne, Sunchaser, Calysta and Honeymoon to celebrate Russ's birthday and had a lovely evening.
