Aries 32 - Thistledown
these are the pictures we took while cruising in fiji
jill sleeping.
we often ate at this indian restaurant:
jill picks out funny clothes for me:
aparently there was a volanic eruption in tonga or somewhere, leaving this pumous stuff all over the water. it floats, and it's funny looking. it's very light... and ended up getting all over the deck too
jill at the helm on the way out of suva:
after suva, we sailed around the west coast of fiji, stopping first in robinson curusoe cove. this was sort of a backpacker resort. we saw some fijian dancing there, but the pictures didn't come out very good:
at robinson curusoe cove, we met some people who were going to film a stunt for a movie in some random bay a little ways south of there. It was quite a sail, beating into heavy wind to get down there, but we went anyways and anchored there for a couple of nights. We brough Ryan with us, a girl we met in robinson curusoe, and she caught a ride back afterwards on a jet-ski with one of the film people.
thistledown anchored in the bay.

saweni bay, we anchored here and made day trips by bus into lautoka. it was a nice anchorage
