Countdown to the Islands 2007

We are now in countdown mode for departure from Whangarei New Zealand enroute to Fiji and then Vanuatu, before returning here to Whangarei next summer to do some more refit work on Maajhi-Re. With the funds donated by family and friends (around $1000NZD) we have sourced and purchased a great set of school supplies to be divided among villages that we visit. It includes readers, story books, wall charts, stationery and soccer and volleyballs. We promise to take lots of photos to share with you all when the supplies are distributed. It will be a very emotional and satisfying project.

The pictures below show the results of our summer's work this year on Maajhi-Re and also a small selection of the school supplies waiting to find a berth onboard.


Planning to head off by the end of next week weather permitting (around June 21). You will be able to track our progress via the Yotreps link on the right of the screen. It will take roughly a week to get to Fiji.
