Sailing Fiji Viti Levu Adventure 139
With family coming to visit we head into Vuda Marina to re-provision - which is a med mooring, with the added bonus of walking a plank to get on and off your boat. We then explore the Mamanucca Islands off Fijis west coast with our visitors, and get a few dives in. As the most accessible islands they get a lot of visitors and a lot of yachts. Once our visitors are gone we try to head north to the Yasawa Island of Waya, but the weather doesn't want to cooperate. Still we have a great visit to a village, and learn about their health services and their schools

Join us as we sail from Tonga to Fiji! The sailing is pretty good, sadly Denise is sick and really struggles through the whole passage. The weather isn't as kind as expected (no surprise) and we struggle through rain and a spinnaker that is tearing! We finally pick up a mooring in the teeming rain in Savusavu and get a few hours sleep, and then we are in our beloved Fiji.....
Sailing Va'Vau Tonga Adventure 135
Просмотров 3,6 тыс.Год назад
Sailing through Va'Vau Tonga we find some of the clearest water we have ever seen, however in our quest for diving and snorkelling we are disappointed to find very little fish or coral. We do find some beautiful caves to dive though and we reprovision again in the town of Neiafu. And we fly the drone over the gorgeous bay of Port Maurelle
Sailing and Cave Diving Tonga Adventure 134
Просмотров 12 тыс.Год назад
Va'vau Tonga is spectacularly beautiful above the water, however there is little coral or fish life in the magically clear warm water. With this in mind, we take a slightly different path than usual, and go searching for caves to explore. Mariners Cave was beautiful, and although it can be done as a snorkel, we were keen to dive it as well.
Stupid Sailing mistakes in Tonga Adventure 133

Tonga has been an easy cruising ground, although we have been very disappointed by the lack of fish and coral, we have very much enjoyed the warm clear water. On a quest to find some coral we head into a cute little bay only to mess up our own propellor with rope WE left in the water. What idiots. Abandon all plans and head to a safer anchorage for Jamie to hop in the water and start sawing!

And then, because we are so desperate to snorkel and dive, we head north to the Vava'u g...

Why do we do so much boat work before leaving for TONGA? Adventure 128

It's a big thing to sail from one country to another over 1100nm, and 10 days. With only yourselves to rely upon and the servicing and repairs that you have done and your joint abilities to fix and problem solve. So, it means a LOT of prep work, both to the physical boat, and to being food and spare parts self sufficient. Although we have been working through jobs on and off the terrible Auckla...

    Those tiny springs in the winch remind me of the "Jesus Christ" spring on a S&W 686 revolver. When disassembling the gun - the would often flick out and the JC reference was the blaspheme you used when it did! Also - want me to jazz up your spreadsheet to be more interactive? ;)

    The 'living the dream' moment for me in this episode is Denise doing a graceful dive into crystal clear water, with great perspective from the drone. (I didn't miss the fish names, in fact I think I was able to focus more on the beauty of the fish and their habitat 🙂)

Sorry you had to waste time diving to clear the prop, I have also had to so this for my husband, but luckily it wasn’t around the prop, so was able to be get it untangled.
