In August, 2006, S/V Toketie set out from Victoria, British Columbia and sailed South to Mexico, on to French Polynesia, Niue and Tonga following the well beaten path known as the 'coconut run' to New Zealand. In 2009 we sailed N to Fiji then on to New Caledonia en route to Australia! Toketie is now back home in British Columbia after a long passage via the N Pacific Ocean.
Toketie is now on a mooring off lovely little Pine Island....it is certainly nice to be floating and swinging again.....new solar panels are putting out tremendously.....gotta love that hole in the ozone layer.....:)
....seems the epoxy layer is failing....we will have to go back in the water and take Toketie around to Whangarei where they can sandblast the bottom and recoat it......we think of it as time to have that new roof put on the house......
.....feast for the masses....the volcanic rocks have been fired all day and are ready to be dumped into the pit.....the food is placed over them and the pit is covered.....
