Visuals!
Jennie here : Fantastic to get a dose of internet from Bluebird today thanks to Megan for forwarding some photos to share. While I have you, in answer to a couple of questions- "bombies" that they talk about are spires of coral that rise up from the depths of the lagoons to near the surface and while sailing around in the interior waters of these atolls a sharp watch has to be kept for them with sun behind for best visibility (speaking from experience of running into one at 6 kts back in the day).
The other current topic is the cutlass bearing. It's a vital part of the propellor/shaft under the hull that keeps it turning smoothly, this one appears to be buggered, likely to have been stressed when they got the jib sheet (rope) tangled in the prop briefly at one point, and so they haven't been able to use the motor recently. Lots of practice sailing in and out of passes and on and off anchors. Friend Miriam who is joining the boat imminently is bringing a new one so that will be the next project to figure out how they will replace it. General practice is to haul the boat out of the water but...
And interesting trivia from friend Andy about the cutlass bearing. About 50 years ago when they tried using rubber for water lubricated bearings they found that there was less damage to the shaft than using other materials such as hard woods like lignum vitae, ie it "cut less"....

Anchoring in the clouds... you can see the bouys they use to keep the anchor chain from fouling coral heads. 
Peace.
