Below is a shot of Gary doing some kind of dance around the boat the day before he launched it. Must be a New Zealand or some Fijian cultural ceremony.

Notice how well he achieved the yellow color match between the boat and the cooking oil can. That must have been a priority.

Not sure about the wheels, though. A more efficient boat would probably do without them.

Also notice the large can of olives he appears to be packing in the stern hatch. Probably part of his survival kit.

I'm learning new stuff every day with this guy!

Cheers from Fiji,

John
