Arriving at Vuda Point after Customs Check in
The depth is 8 feet and it’s only 40 feet wide
Vuda Point is well known for “digging in”. As Hurricanes do hit Fiji, they dig a hole in the ground and put monohulls keels underground to prevent them from blowing away!
Here the hole for a monohull keel has been prepared. The travel lift puts them right on the spot
When we first arrived a thunder storm was preceded by this wonderful rainbow
Catch the “since date”…..Welcome to the old Pacific
Kate would do the driving while I played boat boy to moor up the boat “med style” here at Vuda Point
Kate thought it would look cool if she drove the dinghy, so lessons were given. It did however cost me a broken toe!
Kate has a series of “jump photos”. Here at Musket Cove about 2 hours from Vuda Point, we got into the “jump” of it
Well I guess I had to do it too! Gotta keep up with the kids….:)
Kate was finishing her PADI Open Water diver class. She did great. She was the first diver I’d certified in 12 years!
A lovely 60 foot monomaran, “Tusitalia” means story teller in Samoan
Mungo is Scottish, Kate a Brit and Ashley a Yank…. Mungo is the Captain of Tusitalia and Ashley is his mate. The owner is the Captain of a very large sailing schooner
If you sail here from “overseas”, for ONE dollar you get a lifetime membership. It paid off as Kate got a 50% discount on a ferry ride she took from Denerau Marina to Musket Cove
This used to be known as the “Two Dollar” bar. Now it’s the 40 dollar bar! The party never stops after 6 p.m.
Works the tan constantly….It’s her Job away from home!
s/v Simpatica and another boat with the moon set and the sunrise…..
We ended up coming in here 4 times for “repairs”, fuel and on one occasion even to just pick up Sandrine!
Sandrine’s exercise routine is to fly her silks and do aerial ballet. Just watch! Video one day maybe….
Nuff said!…
Do not try this at home…..:)
According to Sandrine, “Aerial Silks” are replacing pole dancing as the “most popular” attraction in “gentleman’s clubs”…..do tell!
Chillin’ after the morning’ thrillin’…..:)
Musket Cove
Off to Navadra Island, most north western of the Mamanuca Group. Kate of course, back “in the office”….. NEXT, Navadra Island and the Yasawa Group
For both us and this lovely local
By both narrow gauge rail and truck, sugar is king in the islands of Fiji
