Maybe Next Year #12s
Hi family, friends and blog followers (hello..are there any out there?). This is my first post as my Mom is usually the bloghog and my Papa is lazy with writing. Don’t misunderstand me..she is really great at chronicling our adventures aboard the mighty Guava Jelly for this year in Fiji and he is mostly just…

Random January Thoughts
We are nearing the halfway mark of the time we mean to spend in Fiji this go-around. It’s been nearly 5 months that we’ve been here. We’ve been here for mango season and pineapple season. We are now in avocado season(!) and passionfruit season. The price of ginger & tomatoes has quintupled now that they…

The two papas
The Fijian word for baby is papa. Which gives Riki lots of fodder when he is talking to Tomu, doing his personal “who’s on first” routine with high-pitched voice for Tomu & his regular voice for himself.

Some sailing adventures
We were anchored just south of Naviti island in the Yasawas, near the Manta Ray pass. It was a rolly anchorage. Rolly anchorages are not much fun, and they are even less fun with a baby. A rolly anchorage means that someone has to be watching Tomu more closely than normal because there is a…

Disneyrau
Well, Denerau is tourist central in Fiji. There are several huge luxury yachts on the docks, and as you walk up from the dinghy dock you arrive at Hard Rock Cafe Fiji. There are 5 or 6 fancy resorts on the island, and tons of boats coming and going taking tourists out to islands for…

Wade walk
Watch Tomasi do the Wadewalk on the deck of Guava Jelly at anchor in Fiji. Interesting how the background commentary sometimes matches his actions. Enjoy the stroll.
