Fishin in Fiji
Whhiiiiirrrrrrzzzzzzeeeezzzziiiizzz….FISH ON! These moments come with various degrees of enthusiasm on Guava Jelly. Usually we are trolling a line behind Guava, never too determined to catch anything but it just seems logical to try in the fish-rich Fijian waters. By not determined I mean Ill put on any small rubber squidy as a lure, dump…

Savusavu to Denerau
We finally left Savusavu even though the Fiji weather service called for strong winds (20-25 knots) and intermittent rain. Basically, we woke up and it wasn’t raining, and we checked the grib files for the weather forecast, which didn’t look as bad, so we decided to go for it. We were both tired of waiting…

Qamea
We spent a week anchored in a bay on the eastern side of the island of Qamea. Riki had been here twice before in 2012 and he always spoke so highly of it–kindof glowing as he gushed about it. So I have been wanting to go there for the past two years. To reach the…

Guest guest blogger
Guest, guest blogger Riki here to post. Hannah has been incredible (as she is) keeping up with the posts of late. Wade has been providing much fodder for content. This video is all I could manage between boat projects and Wade time in the last 6 weeks in Fiji. This is a common occurrence between…
