Our next day diving with Papoo off of Nananu i Ra is a change up. We head out into extreme current and claw our way along a rocky outcropping to a spot where sharks are known to feed. Just reef sharks, so we are not afraid of being the main course. The…

Bad Fun – Good Fun
I awoke at about 5:00 am to what I thought was lightening. I registered that the wind was indeed blowing and it was raining. I was about to roll over and continue my sleep when the lightening happened again (no thunder). Hummmm, better look out…
Nananu-i-Ra
This is an accidental discovery on our part. No tour books or cruiser advice directed us to stop in Nananu-i-Ra, it just looked like a safe place to anchor on our trip back to Denarau. After wending our way through the entrance reefs we p…

Makogai to Savusavu
Well I guess we have to work sometimes on the boat, so on the morning of our next day at Makogai Glen and I dive the underside of the boat to clean things up a bit and replace zincs (so the salt water doesn't eat our propellers and such). In the af…
Suva to Makogai
We said good bye to Cassie in Suva. The ninety mile run back to Nadi by boat just wasn't appealing (for any of us). Options were, rent a car (What! Are your crazy? says Romina the Royal Suva Yacht Club assistant manager)- the roads and drivers make…
