Cheshire Cat in Fiji and Vanuatu. Wednesday, January 14, 2009. Cheshire Cat arriving in Suva harbour - under tow! We headed out from New Zealand on 28th May - bound for the islands Tonga, where I hoped to see the whales again - with their calves. Street vendors at the Suva market.
Wednesday, July 25, 2007. The mysterious Islands of the Galapagos. A face only a mother could love. 2005 and 2006 - we visited two times in Cheshire Cat. On our first visit we sailed from Bahia de Caraquez in Ecuador with Helen and Tabatha on board and in company with Susan and Chuy on Libre.
Tuesday, June 26, 2007. Here we found a nice little French influenced town. There were narrow streets with no pavement. The small attractive bay and village. Frequently a house door opens directly onto the pavement, with a couple of feet of tile.
Wednesday, June 27, 2007. Cheshire Cat and crew ready to sail on the high seas for the first time. The seas were pretty huge as well. It was at least three days before he felt better, and was really able to take his turn with boat work. Nick at the wheel, mostly recovered. When waves came into the cockpit the water came up to our knees - we frantically bailed it out as best we could using buckets. Later I discovered I had lost my lovely Tim H.
