Today we departed from our Musket Cove anchorage around 11am. Both skippers were keen to hit the figurative "road" again. While en route, Joy prepared a delicious brunch of mushy pea fritters, scrambled eggs on toast and bacon. The mushy pea fritters have a little back story!
They were bought as dried Punjabi lentils that we thought we could make curries or salads with. Alas they turned out to be blue peas aka what you use to make mushy peas! Jade was undeterred and cooked them, then mashed them with butter, salt and pepper and they really weren't too bad! We weren't too sure what to do with the mashed peas afterwards so they were turned into fritters.
We motored for around 90 minutes, navigating slowly past some coral reefs with Josh up the mast, Matt with lures out to catch fish and the skipper diligently checking his charts. Around 1pm we arrived at a beautiful and secluded bay off Malolo island called Likuliku lagoon. It was quite literally paradise! There was a stunning resort overlooking the bay with bures (little wooden villas on stilts in the ocean). We had been told not to go ashore so we swam around the boat, Joy and Jade did some yoga and then we enjoyed some sunset drinks and snacks with the KTD crew around 5pm. Dinner was fresh bread rolls with a tuna salad.
Another fabulous day was had by all!
