We have finally got our cruising permit. We have only been waiting since Sunday. This allows us to move out of this bay and cruise around the Fiji islands. Why a cruising permit is an option and more paperwork? How many people would sail to Fiji to sit here in the Harbour? Our next delay is we can’t get fuel untill tomorrow because their repairing the fuel pump. So one more night and another day of not being able to go for a swim.
The shops in town don’t stock any of the correct glue available to repair our dinghy so I have used what glue I have onboard for a temporary fix. We have been into town a few times to the fresh fruit and veggies market, the bakery and the supermarket. We also found the butcher, who seemed to also sell “Builders Mix” but we didn’t need to do any concreting, so we just bought meat. We are now stocked up for a few weeks away from towns.
Weather wise as per usual it is not quite what we saw on forecast neither what we would like, but being stuck here being overcast and showers most of the time keeps us cool as we cannot swim in the Harbour.
