Pin It
For the past two mornings we've been up before the birds to head ashore to the Port Denarau Yacht Club, where the America's Cup has been televised. Since Fiji is the winter "playground" for many New Zealanders, the club was packed with supporters cheering for Team New Zealand. During the last cup final we had also supported Team New Zealand, primarily because the race felt like a "David vs Goliath" scenario. This time it feels like Team USA are "lambs to the slaughter". Let's hope they can pull something out of the hat tomorrow, otherwise it's game over and the better team will definitely have won the cup. With our early rises, we enjoyed another early morning walk yesterday, but one that nearly killed Elaine off for some unknown reason. She was in agony as the muscles in both of her legs seemed to go into spasm. Living in constant pain these past few months has become routine, but yesterday knocked it out of the ballpark. So, drugged on painkillers, she spent the rest of the day in bed, while Roy baked and cooked up a storm for dinner, which was delicious as always. Fortunately, today Elaine's legs are feeling much better. In fact, a little more flexible and she seems to be able to walk a little better as well. Let's hope she's on the mend at last! After watching the race this morning, we took the bus into Nadi to complete the last of our paperwork tasks for now - getting our passport photographs taken and posting our passports for renewal. Then it was back to Paw Paw to set sail back to Saweni Bay for our early morning departure to the southern Yasawa Islands tomorrow. The last time we were in this bay, we were one of only three yachts, but today it's packed. We've also seen a few World ARC 2017 yachts arriving in Fiji for their rendezvous in Musket Cove early next month. We may be able to meet the fleet, depending on a few outstanding matters that we still have to take care of when we return to Port Denarau, but no guarantees at this point.
