New Friends in Savu savu

Hello All,
We are having a good time here. We are meeting lots of new people and we haven't even left town yet. We had dinner at the yacht club with a few of the fellow cruisers last night. There was a local band that has played there the last 2 nights so it is very cool to have some live music. We went out to one of the clubs last night,this isn't a big place so you get to know folks pretty easy. The Fijian people have been awesome to us. They are very friendly,like most of the Islands and have different customs to get used to.
We are invited out to a yacht tonight for a good bye drink. The guy is from Australia with some friends helping him get the boat home. They are leaving in the morning for Vanuatu Island. This is a funny story, the guy bought this boat in Pago Pago from a guy we met there. The boat was damaged in the tsunamis last year and this guy, a cruiser him self has been living in Pago Pago a few years now. He bought the boat from the insurance company and fixed it up to sell. We saw the boat when we were there and knew a guy from Australia was buying it but we left before this guy showed up to take it home. We saw the boat in the Ha'apai group but didn't meet the guy till we got here. We all got a good laugh after we told him that we knew the boat and the old owner.
Well I better get going. Places to see and people to meet.

PEACE
