07/30/2007: "Scurvey crew scrubbing the decks"

Baden and Fletcher do not have it easy all the time. Apart from doing irregularly regular schoolwork they get the job that scurvey crew have had down the centuries - scrubbing the decks. We do this about once a week with salt water and gumption, a fresh water rinse afterward. The captain (Gavin - me) and the co-Captain (Catherine) usually oversee the work, ready with the cat-o-one tail (either Tuska or Matilda - the ships felines).
Chaotic Harmony is currently at Lomolomo, Vanuabalavu, Lau. We fuelled up today (240 litres in 20 litre can loads) and had a wonderful lunch and play on the beach at Moana's guest houses (www.moanasguesthouses.com). Run by Caroline and David, this resort has a unique charm and wonderful hospitality.
