17 | Exploring the Islands of Fiji, Vanua Levu and Taveuni

After the two week ocean passage to Fiji, we settle in to the little town of Savusavu. The boat needed some repairs after the long crossing, and then we explore the many wonders of Fiji, from waterfalls and sugar cane to chocolate and kava root. Setting sail for Viani Bay, we had a rough upwind bash, but eventually made it on the second try. We found a dive resort with free moorings on Taveuni, and enjoyed the easy life for a few days. After restocking with fresh produce, we set out on the overnight sail to the beautiful Lau group. Julia is an Atkin designed Ingrid ketch, built in 1960 in British Columbia. She is a traditionally built wooden boat, fir planking on oak frames. Music Credits: All music courtesy of End of the Ocean by Tellsonic Magical Garden by Jon Algar Prepare for Liftoff by Tellsonic
