We had the local SeaMech guys come out today to look at our Naiad stabilizers, and we think we found where the hydraulic oil is leaking. He made up a couple gaskets for the valve body, and put some thread tape on a pipe plug. So far looks good. We killed two birds with one stone, and used our trip to the fuel dock as our sea trial for the Naiads! We paid FJ$1.2845 per liter, plus 12.5% VAT. That comes out to about US$3.15/USGallon. With any luck at all, the weather will hold out and we'll be leaving Fiji on Friday morning. Next stop, Noumea, New Caledonia. Oh, yeah. We also had a bit of crew drama over the last few days. One of our crew had taken ill in Rarotonga, recovered for our trip to Tonga, but then took ill again. He recovered again in Tonga, but not before we'd completed departure clearance formalities with his name removed from the crew list. It was the weekend, so we couldn't get him added back in. Seems it was a good thing, since it turns out he has a serious kidney infection. We finally flew in to Fiji yesterday and went straight to the hospital. Once his condition is confirmed, he'll be flying home to the UK via Wellington, NZ. We're going to make our next leg (Suva to Noumea) with just the remaining four crew members (our new skipper Stuart, myself, Gilbert, and Aussie Pete), but we will pick up one additional crew for the final leg across the Coral Sea.
