I don't know how many people here plan on visiting Fiji, but, just in case, I've just updated our page,
http://www.waituimarinafiji.com/clearance.html with the latest info.
I've made it a point to bring out on the page, and I'll bring it out again here, that the Interrim Government of Fiji is operating under Decree, not a constitution, and that the PER's (Public Emergency Regulations) are still in force, which allow any duly appointed person to do what they whatever they consider appropriate to carry out their duties.
They are required to present a warrant card (ID), and to issue a reciept for any monies collected. If you are assessed a fee not listed, pay the fee, collect the reciept, and argue in the appropriate office later.
If you have any questions, please feel free to email me at
sales@bebi-electronics.comWhat has really pissed me off right now is that the wankers over at 'Cruisers Forum' bbs won't let me post the link as they are calling it 'commerical'. (This from the same people who have 'google ads' on their site). I guess they aren't interested in helping cruising sailors.
best,
Michael
