We are anchored in one of our favourite spots at the moment - “ Makogai. We always find lots to do here and time passes by too quickly. We went in to see Kamali and do our usual sevu sevu. He always remembers the boat and makes us welcome. We were sitting out the back last night having dinner and we could hear the kids laughing, squealing and playing onshore. They sound so happy. We always comment kids laughter, and tears, sound the same in any language. No computer games, play station or TV’s here!!! Yesterday we did a few cleaning chores on the boat in the morning when it was still reasonably cool, and then after lunch we hauled out the dive gear and went for a ‘shake down’ dive. As usual there was plenty to see, lion fish, a huge puffer fish, Spanish mackerel and lots of colourful tropical fish. stunning here – no We also have a friendly turtle that pops his head above the water near the stern of the boat every now and then. Just idyllic.
