After a second failed standby attempt to board a flight to Tarawa to visit Chuck (plane was once again overweight due to another very large shipment of fish apparently), I was stuck in Fiji for another week. After returning to my hostel dorm in Nadi, I was feeling and apparently looking rather defeated. I heard a voice from across the room yell out, "are you sick or something man?" Turned out to be the voice of Glen Baker, a professional kiteboarding instructor who teaches the sport in Squamish Canada. After obsessing over his surf foil setup for kiting, he offered some lessons at the beach which I happily accepted. We soon became friends and saw that there were going to be good winds on an outer island group of Fiji known as the Yasawa islands. I found a cheap hostel on one of the islands and researched how to get out there by ferry. The promise of another adventure at hand quickly cheered me up, it wasn't looking so bad to be stuck in Fiji for another week after all!
