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.

Vuda Point Marina
Toketie is now stern tied with two lines to moorings and bow tied with two lines to the concrete shore. To get off, we pull one of the forward lines in and step off the bowsprit onto the stubby dock alongside. We are scheduled to haulout and survey the bottom tomorrow to ascertain whether we were damaged on the reef. It is definitely sunnier this side of Fiji. Today the wind is up though with 30 knot gusts out of the SE. We are safely sheltered in the marina though and spoiling ourselves with hot showers, boat washdowns and a laundromat! Last night we even found half price pizza night at a nearby resort. Feels like luxury after living on the hook for so long!
