Ok, I've finally made some time to go through and pick out some photos to post... I put together a slide show of 83 pictures but won't try to post them all here! Unfortunately, i lost a bunch of photos that I had not backed up. It turned out that my laptop did die after getting splashed. It came back to life for a few days after drying out, but then when we arrived in Hawaii it refused to work. A repair shop here confirmed that it was not worth fixing (gotta love our *planned obsolescence* society where things aren't even worth repairing - just buy a new one for less!). So, i don't have a picture of the new babyAgnes that we got to meet on her first day alive, but I have a bunch of other pics to share!
First a few from the passage to Fanning Island, where we saw pilot whales, and got splashed by a lot of waves.

| Ohhh - I hate getting splashed! It's only safe under the dodger! |
Arriving at Fanning was a welcome sight - we couldn't see the lagoon, but it was reflected in the clouds above it which appeared light green - a new cloud color for us!

Land Ho! With green skies above.

We made it! Time to celebrate...

Our time on Fanning was quite fun. I'll post more pics soon, but for now, here's the main reason we were there...

| Tim surfs! |

| Jane surfs! (a much smaller day) |
