Moving Along

Hello All,
We had a good day yesterday despite the weather. It was mostly cloudy all day and the wind was blowing pretty good here at the anchorage. Jon took off to the village to trade some shells for some spare shirts he had and I was invited to go snorkeling with the Curious team. The coral and the fish were amazing, we had a great time. After returning to Curious Jon showed back up, he had lunch with the locals and hung out there in the village a few hours. I had a little lunch on Curious then Jon and I headed to the beach to go find the plane wreck on the other side of the Island. It was only a 20 minute walk to get over there. When we arrived we met and older couple that live over there. They are in there 70s and very friendly to visitors. Steve told me about this couple before we headed over and told us if we could spare anything to take it to them. I grabbed one of my few cans left of Alaska Salmon and presented it to them. They were so pleased. They pointed out about where the wreck was at and then told us when we return they will show us a picture of the plane when it was new. The water was a little murky but we found it in about 10 feet of water. It is a P 39 from WW2. I guess the pilot walked away but the plane was a total loss. It was mostly all there considering how long its been in the water. When we returned the couple showed us the pictures and they also showed us there home. It was a very traditional Fijian home made of sticks and palm leaves. They gave us some fruit and we said goodbye.
Last night we had dinner on Curious again. Steve, as usual, fixed a fabulous dinner and we finally got back to the boat about 10 pm.
We will be leaving for the next anchorage this morning so I am going to get to work. The sun is out and its time to move on.

PEACE
