Crew dinner last night with 70 crew members from the various World ARC boats here in Santa Cruz. Take a look at the World ARC website for some photos! A very enjoyable dinner was had by all. Now getting ready for departure to Marquesas on Sunday. This morning we did some provisioning for the trip so as not to leave it all to the last day. We intend to visit the farmers Market on Saturday EARLY leaving at 6am as the farmers start the Market early.
This morning saw Jane in the Hairdressers getting a colour and cut from a very cheerful local girl who spoke no English at all!! Anyway managed to get a good result for a reasonable USD 75 plus tip. Just enjoying lunch with another couple Janet & Mark from At Last at Isla Grill where the WiFi actually works!!
So we have the Skippers briefing and prize giving for the last passage at a local hotel tomorrow evening followed by drinks and canapés. Saturday is our early start to the Market and other last minute shopping before leaving at 12 noon on Sunday. We have already refuelled the boat as a local tender came to the boat with several large jerry cans of fuel on Tuesday.
The next leg to Hiva Oa will take us around 3 weeks depending on the wind speed. Have charged the yellow brick tracker up so you can follow our progress on the website.
