The
end of October is always a special time for the Del Viento crew. Windy turns a year
older, Eleanor’s birthday is just before Halloween, there’s the
dress-up-and-candy day itself, and then soon after, I pull another year away from Windy.
Eleanor’s
birthday was low-key and enjoyable. For Halloween we planned to be on a mooring
off Musket Cove, a resort on an island off the coast of Nadi. We heard there
might be other kid boats there, many waiting for a window to make the hop to
New Zealand.
It
didn’t disappoint, one of our girls’ favorite cruising Halloweens so far—and that’s
saying a lot, given the success of Santa Rosalia a few years back and Woodacre
before that.
Next Halloween? We're shooting for Montana. More on those plans in a future post.

| It's really all about this group, kind of magical. All the kids clicked, nearly all a bit on the older side. They're not all pictured here, but from Del Viento, Terrapin, Pesto, Me Too, So What, Enough, and an unnamed boat. |

| The girls came up with and executed their costumes themselves. Surprisingly, all we had to acquire were the plastic flowers for Frida's head décor. Leo wasn't around, so Mona painted her own cardboard background and frame. |

| Not all of them, only those we could rally for this photo. Many of the adults were in costume too and thanks to some of us just back from trips to the States, there were the Halloween staples like you cannot find in Fiji: Snickers, Take Five, Twix, etc. |
Awesome glimpse into life as a cruising family. I'm always curious how people who travel full-time manage to make/keep the holidays special when you're in a new place every year. Now.....electric piano?!?! On a sailboat?!?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the nice words, Stacey. Not unheard of at all. Of course, not talking a full-size piano, just one like this: http://amzn.to/2ynPEAc
DeleteAll the best.
Love the costumes - especially Mona! So cool to see all the cruising kids together! Montana?! Looking forward to details...
ReplyDeleteI am sure you guys had all the fun while cruising and having picnic at sea shore. It feels good when you share your such experiences.
ReplyDeleteHow fun--we had a blast with many of those boats in Mexico (Pickles, Terrapin, Me to etc). They are a great group of kids--our favourite combo ever.
