Intrepid snorkellers

13 July 2017 | Somosomo Bay, Naviti Island, Fiji
Today we've been in search of a sunken WW2 aircraft. It wasn't that easy to find. We were anchored on the other side of the island, so the first challenge was of the orienteering variety. First track we found went completely the wrong way, so we returned to the dinghy and started over. Next track was the right one, but we lost it several times before getting to our destination. No NZ DOC tracks here! Plane was pretty easy to find. It was a US Hellfire in remarkably good condition, considering it has been sitting in 3m of water for about 75 years. We did some research and found that that particular craft was nicknamed son-of-a-b**ch-2nd-class and lots were lost in the final stages of the war over the Pacific. We hope the crew made it ashore and lived happily ever after in Fiji. It was a good adventure. We earned our piña coladas today.
