Moored in Savu savu

Hello All,
We arrived in Savu savu yesterday at 1100. The anchorage is in the mouth of a river so it is very protected. When we came in we were met by a guy in a skiff and he asked if we needed a mooring. This anchorage is very tight and is full of moorings so it's hard to anchor here and besides its like 5 bucks a night to stay on a mooring, I told him yes so he picked one out and he helped us tie to it. He arranged for customs and all of the officials to come out and brought them out to the boat. Now that is service. The check in was easy and the guys were very friendly. We got the dingy aired up and went into town. This is a small town with one main street and most everything is right here on the water front. We had some lunch at an Indian restaurant and walked around. Jon found an internet cafe so that's where I lost him and I found the Yacht Club Bar. I met a few locals that were there and later on Jon showed up and then a few cruisers also showed up. We ended up having dinner there and didn't get back to the boat till 2230. I think we will be here at least a week, this is a big Island with lots to see and do.

That's all for now.

I will talk to you soon.

PEACE
