Our next good weather opportunity to leave Savusavu was still a few days away. Meanwhile, we had a couple of days of light wind coming, and that can mean hot weather in Savusavu. Rich suggested we go to the nearby anchorage off the Cousteau Resort for a couple of days. It’s only about 4 miles away, but it feels like it’s worlds away.
Cruisers can’t go ashore; those Cousteau employees would be all over them like a June bug to a grasshopper’s ass. (I’ve no idea what that means, but my father-in-law used to say this, and I’ve always thought it was descriptive.) What you can do is swim, relax, and enjoy the scenery and cool breezes.
When we arrived, there was plenty of room to anchor, being careful to avoid the oyster floats on the way in. We’d motored by this place a few times, but I never appreciated what a nice spot it is. We should come here more often!–Cyndi
