Village Visit
Wednesday August 24th 2022 Once again back in a beautiful bay at Waya Island. It’s early morning and I’m watching the sunrise, casting its deep orange glow across a clear brightening sky; another beautiful dawn promises. As the sun rose gently over the island, the highest rocky peaks were illuminated, casting shadows over the lush […]
Beam me up Scotty!
Thursday 11th August 2022 Oh dear God where do I begin! So far the last 2 months aboard Daisy have been miraculously, for me, (the reluctant sailor) amazing. I’ve loved everything, the beautiful beaches, the fabulous resorts, the fun days and nights hanging out with wonderful friends, even the sailing, it’s truly been a dream. […]
Meeting Una
Sometime in July 2022 With Daisy fully provisioned and cleaned, we left Denarau marina and headed back over to Musket Cove, just for the night. The plan is to work our way slowly back up the Yasawa Island chain, we have no schedule, no dates to meet, no visitors to pick up, our time is […]
Legal Narcotics!
Friday 29th July 2022 We just spent an exceptionally busy 3 days in Denarau Marina, doing all sorts of essential (!) boat stuff! Cleaning, laundry, re-provisioning, refueling, refilling the liquor cupboards (absolutely essential), fridge, freezer and pantry, having Daisy washed, and polished to within an inch of her life, picking up our newly repaired Genoa, […]
Catamorons
Fiji, July 2022 Yes the (miss)spelling is deliberate, and I know it won’t win me any fans, but then thats never been what my writing is about. I would like to start by saying that I have friends who have catamarans, and they’re very responsible, knowledgable sailors, considerate of the sea life and coral reefs. […]
Wind!
Tuesday 19th July 2022 Wind! We’ve had more than our fair share of wind this week, while traveling up the chain of the Yasawa Islands. We had dropped anchor in a lovely bay alongside a very long deserted beach, with no village and no other cruising yachts; my first thought “maybe I could find that […]
Sunrise & Sea Shells
Friday 15th July 2022 I’m sitting here in the cockpit watching the beautiful sunrise for the umpteenth time, with a warm breeze on my face, sipping my tea, and watching the water glisten and sparkle as if sprinkled with diamonds, it reflects the colors in the sky that gradually change as the sunrise becomes more […]
New Location
Tuesday 12th July We had planned on stopping off at Mantaray Bay on our way up the Yasawa’s, but plans quickly change when on a sailboat. We enjoyed a lovely sail up, and arrived just in time to drop anchor and get settled before lunch. However, there were two other boats in the bay, one […]
Shark Infested Waters
Friday 8th July 2022 We said our goodbye’s to Paul and Trish, and headed over to Nevadra. This is in such a beautiful group of little islands, just a couple of hours sail from Musket Cove. More often than not it proves to be a very rolly anchorage, and any stay there really needs to […]
Link to Ed & Paige’s video’s
My son and daughter-in-law have been living on their boat Sea Pearl and sailing the East coast of America and the Bahamas for the last year. Their video’s on You Tube following their adventures are lovely to watch. So I’m including a link to one of their video’s. You can find them on Instagram and […]
