So Ya Want To Move To Fiji?

 Howdy, Pilgrim.  Yeah, we got us a nice little place to homestead here.  Lots are being laid out as we speak!  Get 'em while they're hot!  You could be living in a grass hut on the shore right across from Copra Shed Marina, home of the coldest beer in Savusavu!  And next to the new marina being built!  Have a boat?  This is perfect for you!  Don't have a boat?  We'll sell you one.  (See previous post re Curly's boat.)


Yessiree, folks, freehold lots are currently available.  First come, first served.  (Freehold means non-native to Fiji - a polite way of saying 'rich white man.')

You want video?  We got video!


This magnificent action footage starts with the island that could be YOUR NEW HOME IN PARADISE!  Then pans across YOUR NEW MARINA SLIP, followed by the new tony marina clubhouse (can't see from this angle) and yet ANOTHER BANK OF MARINA SLIPS followed by a sailboat with a dark blue hull (Nicolas' boat and our happy hour locale last Friday night).

Yeah, Sparky, you passed on Bitcoin when it came out (too weird) and didn't buy Microsoft when it was first offered (who needs a computer anyway?)  If you pass on this offer your significant other will laugh at you until the day you die.  She does that already?  Then what have you got to lose?

This offer void where prohibited by law.

He's baaaaaaack!

 "Zika one, Zika one, Zika two." "Zika one here.  What's up, Goose?" "Maverick - he's back." "Goose, we've been in Fiji now for a couple of years, infected hundreds of people, met all kinds of insect relatives...can you be more specific?" "The sailor guy - you know,  his friend was the purple mohawk-haired woman?" "Oh him.  I sort of thought he was gone for good." "Nope, he's back, Maverick.  Sitting on that same sailboat in Savusavu." "Well, I wonder where he's going to go from there.  Savusavu's nice, but once you walk around a few times you've seen it all." "I'll bet he goes out to the Lau islands." "Well, Goose, that's someplace we haven't been either.  That's a long distance for us to fly with our limited supply of ATP." "Maverick, what's ATP." "Goose - Google is your friend.  Actually you could ask Claude from Anthropic

Here we go again...

 Chilling in Redwood City, two days to the Fiji flight.  Have a roll-on chock full of stuff for Fiji, including donated prescription eyeglasses that I hope to distribute to locals in need of them.  Also a drone to check for bommies.  We'll see how long that lasts...may not make it out of CA.   Got word that my guitar is at the marina waiting for me.  I will scare the locals with my Jimmy Buffet covers - probably cause an international incident.   Also, my 12V freezer is on the way.  Ice for sundowners!  What a concept.  I may barter ice balls for food while out on the islands.   Bringing Borax for ants, Prevagen for Jeff, a wireless microphone setup for Brian, and weatherproof 12V/USB sockets for Peregrine.  Plus my sports action camera this time is waterproof to three meters without an enclosure.  Also have a spare micro-SD card. And...and...and - I remembered to add 'Exile on Main Street' to my stored music.  The trip is already a success.  I hope the folks at Vuda Marina

Seventy is the new forty

Stardate Sept 2, 2023 There’s a hill towering above our anchorage.  If you look close at the picture below you can see the path cut into the hillside.  Look to the left of Nick’s mast. So the four of us decide to climb the stupid hill.  I had my Keen sandals which promised to give me good support on the hill.  We met the rest of the German tourists coming down the path.  They were wearing flip-flops!  “Ja, the path gets steep near the top.”  What they didn’t say was that the path was full of rolly pebbles and slick grass.  It took us a good half-hour, maybe forty minutes, to reach the top.  A nice view.  And it was free. Coming down I had visions of slipping and breaking an arm;  That would give a whole new meaning to the term ‘single handing’ a boat.  We all slipped a few times, but managed to get down in one piece.  It was after four pm when we hit the dinghies.  Jen and Den called for sundowners on their boat at five.  A quick swim to wash off the sweat and we made it on time
