Cyclone Gene

January 28, 2008
Beqa Island, Fiji

Hell of a rough crossing today from the mainland. Not sick but 15-20
ft swells so completely soaked by docking time so I jumped & swam in!
Good fun. Sustained winds up to 90 kph with gust to 140 kph. Not sure
when this email will get out as I am on my iPhone. Can't leave island
for at least three days now anyway but Lalati resort has satellite so
may be able to update via that link. My Fiji Vodaphone mobile has no
signal right here but maybe on the beach or hills later.

Incredible resort once again have to see to believe. Spent a few hours
cleaning and restocking meds in the very nice clinic!

Cyclone Gene won't make a direct hit on us at least but close. Lalati
Resort is built to a level of Category Eight cyclone. Been through
this before and usually don't worry till the roof starts to peel off
or it floods (but a reef here as in much of Fiji stops most of the
surge).

Nothing to do but read, listen, watch a movie, wait and enjoy till the
coconuts start pummeling the roof. Will attempt fotos tomorrow.

Thanks for reading.
