Hi Phil and Nylene,

Hi Phil and Nylene, I just noticed you guys (or at least the boat is) are here in Port Vila. Hi ! I am here for a month working on the boat while Liz and the kids are visiting back in Canada. Come over for a beer while you are here (although Fluenta does look like a construction zone at the moment ...) Did you hear that Gary and Julie managed to sell Nirvana ? Cheers, Max 531 1221
