OF ORCHIDS AND PREPARATIONS


A couple of days ago I finally visited the Sleeping Giant orchid exhibition. It was started by actor Raymond Burr (Perry Mason/Ironside/Rear Window). Apparently he had a fondness for Fiji and privacy (he bought an island). The park was well maintained and I saw many, many varieties of orchids.


My refrigerator is finally working and I'm awaiting a part for my anchor windlass. After that, I'm pretty much ready to check out of Fiji and push on to Vanuatu. The crossing should take 5-7 days and my Port of entry should be Port Vila on Efate Island. Find that on Google earth.


Although I'm sad to depart Fiji, it is a circumnavigation after all!


Enjoy the picture of the orchid!
