14 June 2018. Uoleva

Wow. Time flies. 

We are now anchored off Uoleva.  We finally got out of Uonukuohifohifa. It was pretty and we did some Snorkelling. Yikes the charts for this region are about as good as the grib files. Meaning not so good. Added a few gray hairs leaving our anchorage. On the chart we were no where near the reef, in reality we drove right over the top of one. Didn't hit bottom, but dang we were close. My poor stomach lining. Hahahaha.
It was a short hop to Uiha.  Spent the night there then another short hop to our current anchorage. 
Wednesday we met up with Jo & Rob on Double Trouble and walked around the Island - 10km. What was I thinking doing that?  Was worth it though. Saw my first sea snake of the trip and generally enjoyed the company and the exercise. Dennis is nursing a sciatica type pain, so did not join us.  Hoping that resolves itself quickly.  
Jo & Rob came for drinks that evening which was also quite enjoyable.  Yes this is the cruising life we like so well.

As it is actually 3am, not sure what we will do today. If its nice, we'll probably stay put and go to Pangai to check in and get greens/fresh food on Friday and Saturday, then head back out to maybe dive with DT & Citation. Who knows????  We are back in semi internet range. Not great but gets the job done all be it slowly.
