Mokagai Island

(this should be read before the last one I posted)

Hello All,
We left Levuka at 1000 and had a slow but good sail north to Makogai Island. It took us 5 hours to go 16 miles and we didn't use the engine except to get into the anchorage. The Dutch couple that was anchored by us came up here also. We had a sundowner with them last night and went snorkeling together today. The coral was very alive with lots of color and shape. This Island was a Leper colony for many years till the 1960's and there is lots of ruins left over. The Island itself has 50 people and 9 families that live here. They are working on replanting there clam population which has been wiped out by over fishing so they are working to replenish that. We will be here a few days to look around and then move on to Koro Island to the North.
The weather has been hot and sunny, nice to be in Paradise again.


PEACE
