Tipairua
Visiting a Polynesian double canoe I built in 2003. This is the 250th anniversary of Captain Cook arriving at Mercury Bay, New Zealand where he observed the transit of Mercury as it passed in front of the sun. Also in attendance were three much bigger eighty foot double canoes, A replica of Cook's Endeavour and two other square riggers.

Fiji
Just returned home from a few weeks in Fiji. Got some sailing in with
my 10 year old Tamanu and caught some nice fish. We Also visited the
factory building 100 Tamanus of which 70 will be used in the Eco
Challenge in early September. Watch for it on Amazon Prime with Bear
Grylls next year. After that event they will be used to train sailors
and eventually be distributed around Fiji's hundreds of islands.
