Tempting Fate at Varuna Pass
Guava anchored in Varuna Pass. Sailing towards Varuna Pass the squalls had begun to stack up in the distance and rapidly approaching they seemed to squish together into one massive black sky that dumped bucket of rain.

Planning on returning to many of the same places that Guava has anchored in the past four months, Jason and I approached with trepidation.

Church
With eyes closed and the singing filling in my ears, I concentrated on the sensation of the sound washing over me….and felt the waves similar to the familiar ocean type, flow over my body. I didn’t know the words to the Fijian songs, nor the words to the sermon but somehow accepted the general message. …
