You have not heard from me for a few days. Our satellite phone is out of order. It is an interesting problem that took a good bit to figure out but it came down to the service was cut off because the credit card was refused. We have been using it for 5 months without any difficulty. Unfortunately we can not easily correct the problem because we have the service thru an individual that sold us the package and he has been very slow to respond to our problem. We will keep pestering him. For now we are buying internet wifi and using it while we are in the marina at Tahiti. We will try to get it straightened out before we leave here.
Sam and I went scuba diving today. He did his lesson and I did a regular dive. I will go back tomorrow for a dive at a place named White Valley. It is supposed to be one of the nicest places to dive in Tahiti and Tahiti is one of the best places in the world to dive. We are trying to get more used to it so we can use our hookah more comfortably. It will be nice because we can go any time any place on shallow stuff. I think it will be nice.
We are going to host a farewell party for Ellen from Owl and Jack on Lauradawn who will be flying back to Kent, Great Britain. He has a job interview and a reunion with his girlfriend scheduled. I think the girlfriend will come first. We are going to have beer and some wine on the dock. We also fixed a smoked salmon dip, Brie with a topping and chips. I was very pleased in how well everything went off. Here is a shout out to Jack's Mom that we are sending him back in good shape and possibly slightly more mature.
May fair winds fill your sails with friendly farewell parties! Bob
