Made it to Yasawa, Isl. Fiji / A Beautiful place to be

October 20, 2010

Hello All,
We made it to Yasawa Islands this morning. All went well and had a good crossing here. The Islands are beautiful and it looks like a good place to explore. Right after we arrived we went to see the chief of the village and got his blessing to visit and hang out here a few days. We haven't done much yet but tomorrow is a new day so I will keep you informed.
Talk to you soon.

PEACE

Hello All,
We had a very good day here at the Nabukeru village anchorage. We did some awesome snorkeling, some of the best coral I have seen on this trip, it was so awesome. We also met some folks on another cruising boat that I met in Hiva Oa, Marquesas some months ago and had a good visit with them. They are from Belgium and have been cruising around for some time. They let me get some way points from them so I could navigate around here in the group. The charts are very incomplete so that really helped to get us to navigate down to Lautoka. After that Jon and I took a dingy ride to one of the bays close by and the scenery was breath taking.
Tonight we went into the village and saw a dancing show the locals put on. It was sponsored by one of the cruise ships that come in here so it wasn't long after sitting down and enjoying the show that one of the cruise ship guys came and asked us to leave. He said it was private for the boat and we were not invited, I told him the locals told us to show up and check it out. I won't get into it but he was rude and we were not to happy. We went and had Kava with the locals after that and got to visit some. Tomorrow we will move south to another anchorage 9 miles south of here and work our way down to Lautoka.
I will keep in touch and let you know how it's going.
That's all for now.


PEACE
