Hi Gary,

I'm located on Viti Levu island, near the town of Rakiraki. There are houses for rent around here and also lumber yards that have marine plywood and several hardwood and softwood species. My tool inventory is growing every week... Good paddling and sailing area, too. This google map has my exact location:

The local tourism near me is mostly on a small off-shore island called Nananu-Ira.

Email me off-list if you're interested in pursuing this area. It would be great to have you build here and I may be able to arrange some things for you in advance of your visit.

John
PS: I ordered your book from Amazon yesterday and may build one early next year (when my 2 kayaks are completed).

: Hi John,

: in Savusavu last year and am trying to decide on another location in Fiji
: to do another. Some place with basic building materials available.
