Same trailer, different park

 Yeah, I stole that from Kacey Musgraves.  Pretty good album, iiirc.

Fueled up at Nawi this am and left for a mooring up the creek at Savusavu marina.  No more construction noise!  Nawi is building a hotel, convention center and condos right next to the marina.  As you can imagine there is quite a bit of noise from earthmoving equipment.  As Boz stated at the bar the other night:  "It's a trailer park.  A very nice trailer park, but still a trailer park."  Nawi will be hella expensive in a few years.  But - always have Savusavu marina.  Right now on the moorings there's one abandoned boat, one boat that hasn't seen its owner in a year, and me.  Quiet.  And the best part - the boat swings with the wind so the front hatch will catch breeze and cool the boat.

Brian will be coming down (up?) in a few days.  We are going to use the hookah to go under and clean our boat's hulls.  Probably a good idea to have someone up top when the compressor is going, eh?  I scraped the waterline on Peregrine a few hours ago.  The lower hull looks remarkably clean.  Some of the boats in Nawi had two feet of weed growth built up underneath.  Looked pretty ugly.

Now that I'm leaving Nawi the bar brought in a keg of pale ale.  That's all they call it - pale ale.  Very tasty.  Not Two Hearted level, but easily the best beer I've had in Fiji.  I may have to dinghy back down the creek tonight and visit.  For science.
