[status]since last update we have been camped up at the Kamoka Pearl farm with hosts Frenchman Patrick and his co workers Brian and Kristin - two Americans who sailed here to Ahe 18 months ago and never left ! What an amazing time we have had with these people over the last 5 days - sharing meals , stories ,spearfishing and fishing and learning what is involved on a pearl farm and helping them out a little. An unique experience and we feel so blessed and enriched for meeting these wonderful people- it is with sad hearts we leave them and their amazing set up for Rangiora overnight. . Having made our way out the pass we stopped on a mooring besides the current and fished for an hour bagging some trevally ,barracuda and grouper - let alone getting fish taken by sharks and landing a shark which we threw back..

Now back to Rangiora and time for crew changes over the next 4 days- a new chapter!
