Wayward Wind finale, once we left Castaway Island we headed off for a night at a place called Musket Cove. It's a marina set up for yachties with a general store and bar and lots of boat parking spaces. Aaron and the Wayward Wind were pretty well known around here and we shared in some of the perks of having such a famous boat and crew. Our last night we decided to have a bbq onshore and Joy was put in charge of the grilling. With laughs and beers held high we said goodnight for the final time. Well Mother Nature decided to add one more surprise and about 3:00am sent a lighting storm our way and since we were sleeping on deck under a 40 foot mast (aka lighting rod) we scurried back below deck grabbing everything we could carry.
Well the lighting brought no rain and we woke to dreary skies as I was allowed to pilot us home. Back in the marina Aaron backed into his spot without a hitch and we were again packed up and heading to our next stop. We have stayed at this Intercontinental before as we accumulate points throughout the year and get to stay here for free. Loving the hot showers and air conditioning we spent three days before we packed it up and headed for the airport and not a moment too soon a cyclone was forming off the coast and one of the first things they do is close the airport.
Well our plane arrived and we departed Fiji vowing to return in two years and this was a great visit. Boarding our favorite airline Korean Air we floated back toward the clouds for one last look of Fiji. This plane was set up a little differently as we had never seen a plane with a window in the bathroom and it made for a pretty cool view while peeing at 40,000 feet. Landing in Korea 9 hours later we were greeted by a smog cloud over Seoul. We headed off to the Hyatt for a goodnights sleep. Waking in the morning I headed off to the gym and I know looking at me I don't look as though I ever see the inside of a gym but I do. I rode the bike ten miles, sat in the Sauna then the steam room and finished up with whirlpool and a cold water plunge pool. I am ready for the long haul flight now!
And now back in the airport in Korea we wait for our 19th flight of the vacation not counting our seaplane adventure and parachuting. Only two go after today with a quick stop in LAX and a visit to my old friend the Queen Mary. I'll post a wrap up once we are back home and if you look at our site we have loaded a bunch of pictures and Joy's big acting video. Thanks for following. Keith and Joy

Northcoasters Thanks for "taking us along with you". It was a great trip. Loved the gorillas, Keith showering with the monkeys, the whole Wayward Wind week, and of course knowing you made it down from 14 k feet over Fiji. Can't wait for the next adventure with the Coopers.
