Monday 11 October Nieafu provisioning

Finally it looks like we are going to have some wind to sail south the Ha'apai group of islands. We came back to Nieafu town yesterday afternoon for a quick trip to the fruit and vegetable market this morning and then back to anchorage 40. I came away from the market loaded with fresh goodies. David went to the only car parts shop on the island to get a new fresh water hose for the generator.

Back on board and a welcome visit by Glen and Cindy from Mystery Ship discussing which anchorages they'd visited and tales of diving. There was just time for a quick trip ashore to see Polly's new owners, Sandy and Cathy, to see how she is settling in. It seems Polly is Queen Cat in the new house and she's the boss of their original kitten. That's our girl!

As we pulled into the Ovalau anchorage Stray Kitty sent the children over to invite us to share dinner with them and David, Rae Ann and their children Jake and Isabelle.
