[status] Anchored off Berras island. Another typical day here yesterday. Was cloudy at first so did a few jobs. Did a bit of machine work on the shaft of a weed eater and it is now entering a new stage of life as a spear for a spear gun. Rigged it with line and Lendua and I are going out for a dive this morning. One ratty old gun in Navindavu so good that I can get it going again. Not too sure of the details but we are getting fish for a birthday party we are invited to this afternoon and evening.
The sun came out about mid day so we went out for snorkel at a nearby island, then I rigged up the windsurfer for the afternoon. Nowhere near as good here as the sandspit anchorage, choppy water and the islands here are higher so the wind not as constant. Once ICA leave we will go back up the other end when its windy.
Got another big day tomorrow. The boat that I fixed is coming around from the village on the other side and we are having a picnic on Berras island. They are going to put down a lovo as a thank you for the work I did. Think they are going to spend the night and we will do some cleanup in the small plantation here. Loving being back here, we are part of the village but being anchored way out here (berras is about 1.5 miles from Navindavu) we are not right in their faces as you often are anchored right off the village.
