Good-Bye Beautiful Anchorage (Bay of Islands, Vanua Balavu, Fiji)

September 19 – 23, 2013

The time was coming for us to leave the Bay of Islands and head over to the east side of Vanua Balavu. We’d been here less than a week but that was plenty of time to get attached to the place. We even had “pets,” some remoras that hung out under our boat and appreciated the daily food scraps we fed them.

We’d miss the beautiful colors of our anchorage, our remoras, the good swimming and snorkeling, and (aside from the occasional passing kayak), the feeling of having it all to ourselves, that it was “our” place. But now supplies were running low, the season was getting on, and it was time to visit some new places.

Below, a “second chance” gallery featuring photos that didn’t quite make the cut to get chosen for previous photo galleries. These photos were all taken in our anchorage, most of them from the boat. (You can click to enlarge and scroll.)

And finally, a panorama of the anchorage during the evening.–Cyndi
