Dear F&F, September 16th – 17th, 2011 Joe arrived on the noon Ferry from Denarau and we immediately upped anchor and headed to Nanuya-Sewa Island. This is a lovely spot (photos not yet posted) and we anchored next to Claudia and Joerg of s/v \”Dreamtime\”. Joe, Anja and I immediately went for a dive at …
Dear F&F, September 13th – 15th, 2011 We motored up to Lautoka after a last marketing and fuel up. This is where Kate and I first anchored upon arrival. The check out with the boss was uneventful. They seem to be trying to smooth the paper work as well. Instead of just leaving, the Northern …
Dear F&F, September 8th – 12th, 2011 After our arrival from Natodola Harbor, we soon discovered the \”noise\” in the washing machine was getting worse. It finally tripped the circuit breaker and I had our friends at \”Baobab Marine\” investigate. They found a huge aluminum metal piece on the back of the machine that spins …
Over time, I hope to improve the edits. Enjoy!..AND…don\’t try this at home!….:-) It is now believed through research that these \”feeds\” have little effect on the diet and behavior of these sharks. The benefit in education to see that these are not the man eaters of \”Jaws\” fame has done far more to help …
Our travels from Savusavu, Fiji to Port Denarau Marina. (The Shark Dive will be it\’s own separate Gallery)…..
Dear F&F, August 29th – September 4th…… After the shark dive, we had birthday cake and wine with Peter and Diana for Peter\’s birthday. Then we had a lovely dinner at The Pearl Resort (Don\’t tell….Anja had a date after dinner with the Brazilian Marine Biologist! shhh! LOL). The next morning, we thanked Charlie for …
Dear F&F, August 29th…Happy Birthday Peter! I\’ve heard forever about the shark feed dive near Beqa (Benga) Lagoon here in Fiji. This is where they get the \”bigs\”. We loaded up all our gear on Aquatrek\’s dive boat for the 15 minute ride to the site. It turns out that the dive is actually at …
Dear F&F, August 27th – 28th We set \”sail\” for Pacific Harbor, but as it was a 90 mile journey, we weren\’t sure we\’d make it by dark, so left staying over one night in Suva Harbor, Fiji\’s Capital a possibility. It was a pretty bumpy and long ride. When we were finally able to …
Dear F&F, August 22nd – 26th Makongai (Makongneye) Island The weather was predicted to get nasty while we were at Namena Island. The mooring/anchorage area on Namena was not particularly well protected so we decided to head the 20 miles to Makongai Island. With a reefed main, it was a pretty bumpy ride in the …
Dear F&F, August 18th – August 21st Namena Island and Dive Reserve Namena Island is 20 miles southwest of Savusavu and en-route to Suva, Fiji\’s Capital City. The Moody\’s who own Namena, collect an annual $25.00 Fijian per person to use the islands dive sites and two moorings. This fee is given to the few …
