August 5, 2013 in Fiji
The waters in Fiji are not well charted and we often find ourselves motoring in shallow water where there are coral rocks (called bommies) that are shallow enough to be hit by our keel. We need to keep a good lookout while going through these questionable areas. We try to only travel in the shallows when the sun is high so that we can see the bottom.
Cyndi often keeps a lookout by standing on the boom or climbing the mast.
Another example of the hardships of the cruising life! 😉 -Rich
