Our first week in Fiji

Huck arrived in Fiji just over a week ago, after a fairly uneventful passage from New Zealand. We checked in on May 26th in Lautoka Fiji. Super easy checkin process, as we had arrived late in the afternoon, and a few of the Officials were less than excited about coming out to the boat. We only had Bio Security come out, and they were super friendly. Quick and easy!

After checking in, we spent the night in Lautoka anchorage. No biggy! Next morning we hauled anchor and headed over to Denerau for a little reprovisioning, and a fresh water wash down. Much needed after 9 days at sea. We stayed two nights, then headed out to Musket Cove. One of our favorite places to while away the days. We have a mooring ball, and will use this as our home base for the time being. It's easy living here, and it's also easy to head to Denarau/Nadi for provisions, as well as up to the Yasawas.

Once we got settled at Musket Cove, and caught up with everyone (very social here), we took off and headed up to Navadra at the Southern end of the Yasawas. It can be a fantastic anchorage, but due to winds it was a bit rollie. The winds came up and were blowing pretty good, so we decided to relax and head back to our mooring ball.

We're now working on chilling out, and not being quite so on the move. After all, we've been in Fiji just over a week, and our tracks look a bit like spaghetti. It's a bit rainy today, so it's a nice quiet day.

We've been swimming a ton (and hiking some too) since our arrival. We've been in the water every single day since we first got to Musket Cove (you really don't want to swim anywhere over near the main island).

Anyway, having a great time and loving Fiji just as much as we did last year. We've got family and friends coming on an off for the next few months, so should be a fantastic season!
