August 24, 2013 in Fulaga, Fiji
After 38 hours on a calm, almost windless sea we arrived at Fulaga. It was another hour before we’d be able to get in the narrow, shallow pass that offers access to the massive lagoon inside the barrier of islands and reef – it seems that nature wasn’t using the same tide tables we were.
What a stunning view we had as we motored the two miles to the anchorage near the path to the village. This looks like Palau! If you don’t know what we mean, use Google Images and look up Palau and you’ll see pictures of mushroom shaped, limestone rocks sticking up from the sea supported only by ridiculously small stalks. There seem to be hundreds of these inside the lagoon here surrounded by water the colors in a child’s unrealistic seascape painting.
Again, we’re asking each other “do you remember how we died?” This must be heaven. -Rich
