Hi Bill hope you are well and the repairs are not too onerous. We did not expect to be back up this year but we are in Whangarei and leaving for Fiji on Wednesday. Will probably clock in at Vuda. It would be great to catch up some time while we are there. Maria says she owes you a roast meal so look forward to that. ?? John and Maria, Soteria
