It was hard trying to sleep in the Harbour tied to the wharf. There were some many lights and sounds we hadn’t heard for weeks and we were attached by a squadron of mosquitoes. We awoke at 6.00am to the sound of the fishermen returning from their all night fishing. As they pulled up against the wharf people were already gathered to buy their catch. I tried to buy some lobster but someone beat me to the only bag of lobster they had.
After breakfast, Tala a local taxi driver took B, Pauline, John and Connie into town and to a laundry (the Savoy). I stayed with the boat getting a few jobs done. Everyone returned about 10am. John and Connie had decided to spend a few nights in a hotel (long showers & no mosquitoes). So they stayed onboard and packed a few things, while Pauline, B and I went back into town to do some shopping and pick up the laundry at 12.00. Pauline was amused by the supermarket sound system. A large and loud boom box.
when we returned to Imagine, Connie and John were ready to head to the hotel and we had to move from the wharf to let boats to arrive. We are now anchored across the bay at Pangaimotu Island along with 10 other boats.
