We are anchored off Lifou and it is a beautiful day. As soon as we can get in the tender we go ashore. This time I decided to take the long climb up to the church at the top of the hill which was a very hard climb but amazing views once I got there. When I got back down to the beach we took a car ride to one of the villages. It was a great day and we sailed at 5pm. At 7pm we went to the captains coctail party which there were only about 50 people invited. Got talking with the new captain who is taking over the Pacific Pearl while Capt. Charlie Carr is on leave. The new captain ( cant remember his name ) was very interesting, he has been everywhere in the world but loved NZ. He had worked for a horse trekking place in the back of Lochinver Station and it was the highlight of his life
