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.

New fuel pump!
Well, the fuel pump arrived today! All went smoothly through customs with no duty or taxes for a yacht in transit. And the good news is, it fits! So today's job was to remove the old one and replace it with the shiny new one that does not leak. Then the fuel lines had to be bled and primed but all is well now and our engine is back on line. So we have a few errands to do while in the city and now we are thinking of skipping the Northern section and just going around to the West side of Fiji, the sunny side apparently!
