Meet up in the middle of the ocean of course! We couldn't pass up the opportunity to hang out with our good friends Lewis and Alyssa from s/v Quixotic as you never know when or where your paths might cross again. Quixotic was set adrift as we all gathered on Starry Horizons for drinks and snacks. Fortunately, no one commandeered Quixotic in the meantime and we all ended up with an awesome story to tell! I suppose I'm getting ahead of myself though, as before we could meet up with Lewis and Alyssa, we had to clear into Fiji and run lots of errands. We (finally!) managed to pick up new battens for our mainsail and took a quick flight to Suva in order to complete all the requirements for our Australian long stay visas. Gotta finish work before play right??? Thanks for watching! (Footage from August 2017) For anyone in the Brisbane/Gold Coast area, we'd love to have you come join us on February 10th! Check out all the event details here: https://www.facebook.com/events/551954931826822/ If you're interested in checking out Fiji, you should definitely look in to Quixotic Charters. Lewis and Alyssa are amazing hosts and know all the stunning hidden spots of Fiji. Not only that, but they have their own YouTube channel (Ride The Trades) as well where you can see some of their Fijian adventures and lots of the work they've done on Quixotic: https://www.quixoticcharters.com/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTACOp9-bRcPJoN4JiU5lkw And last (but definitely not least!) you should totally check out Amy's article on the whales of Tonga in this month's issue of Cruising World.
