ICA Rally -Sand bar results Malolo, Fiji

Another fun filled day was planned for Monday. The sand bar, which comes out only at low tide, is a great place to have fun for about three hours before the real estate goes under. At 11:15 every dingy in the anchorage started making their way out to the party. Musket cove set up a little snack and drink bar at the sand bar along with all the fun and games. The main events were the hairy chest contest, the bikini contest, beer drinking contest and Tug of war. A line of about 40 men long all bearing their hairy and not so hairy chest was just a hoot! Merric decided to cut out pictures of Hares (rabbit) and glue them to his chest. They had three categories: Hairiest chest, smoothest chest and best form. Merric won for best form!!! Then they started with the ladies. The categories were: Best bathing suit, best presentation and best overall bikini body. Trust me I was shocked when they called MY name out for best overall bikini body! Those judges must have been drunk! LOL. Then the drinking contest was international (USA, Australian, ect..) versus New Zealand. They had to walk with an open beer between your legs to the line and back then chug. After lots of cheating later it was a toss up. Everyone got a free beer. The best chugger was a chick from good ole USA!!! I am so proud. Then came the Tug of War contest, again international vs. the Kiwi's. After tons of beer later (all consumed within 2 hours) Tug of War was on! Well, WE LOST! We spent the rest of our time floating in the water drinking beer, chatting away about everything and nothing. So far, the weather looks calm for the passage to Vanuatu starting Thurs. (Wednesday in the states). So calm that Paul is getting a bit more fuel since we probably will be motoring for a bulk of the trip.
