The last week

We arrived in Efate Island Vanuatu today, our last stop here before heading for New Caledonia and then home, wow how fast a few months can go. The last week has been incredible, the weather stunning, sailing perfect and the locations visited once in a lifetime. Last night we anchored at Cook Reef, the middle of the ocean, the snorkeling was amazing and we though hey why not spend the night, luckily the weather was settled and we had a very peaceful night, wouldn't have been a great place to get caught with your pants down.
On the sail today we dragged a lure the whole way and had the excitement of it being chased by a Striped Marlin, a big one at that, it had at least ten goes then decided our piddley lure with even smaller hooks wasn't worth the trouble, it breached a couple of times, amazing, don't know what we would have done if we had caught it but all the same a whole lot of fun.
Eva's vocab, letters and numbers are developing as fast as her personality, it is both frustrating and incredible and everything in between.
I am sure those of you in NZ are sitting down to the opening ceremony and first game of the world cup,GO THE ALL BLACKS.
