This should be Happy Anniversary too (a little late). I was checking to see where we were last year for Easter and we were just starting our crossing of the Pacific. We had arrived at the Marquesis island of Hiva Oa the morning of April 17, 2010. Wow, we have covered a lot of the earth over the last 12 months. It's been amazing! So Happy Easter to everybody and thanks for following us.
Here we wait in Opua, tied to the dock (not in our boat budget for this month - eek!) waiting for the perfect weather to return so that we can head off to Fiji. Nobody is going to sympathize with this, but we are getting bored with the wait. Yes, I know our projected leave date was to be May 2 or 3, so why are we getting antsy so early? But guess what…. Mother Nature is planning to throw an Ocean storm on those dates lasting until around May 8th, so now do you get it?
We did rent a car for two days; we topped up our groceries (again! Man we eat a lot.) and hauled gasoline for the small boats, no gas at the dock here, and we intended to go to church for Easter Sunday. Guess we should have clued in when the priest on the phone sounded confused when we were asking for mass times.. we drove to the google map location provided and even had our handheld GPS unit to back us up, only to find a hospital at the intended address - we weren't lost, the church is! I hope God gives points for "it's the thought that counts". So instead of church, we toured some more of the North Island. It is always nice to see more countryside.
