74 - Our Fijian Cultural Immersion In Fulanga
March 28, 2018 by Out Chasing Stars | Language: EN Play Time: 00:25:34 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
For us, when we think of Fijian culture, we always go back to our time in Fulanga. Fulanga is one of the most remote inhabited islands we’ve ever been to. There’s no airport. There’s no cruise ships. The only tourists come via sailboat. And it is absolutely worth the trip.
We completed our sevu sevu in the village of Monothaki and were adopted by one of the local families. Suka, Mary and Tui took us in, fed us until we couldn’t eat anymore and made us feel so welcome. Another villager, Alifreti invited us to a kava party hosted at his home and it seemed like everywhere we went we were offered more and more coconuts. And we all know that’s the way to Amy’s heart!
Not only were the people of Fulanga incredible, but the island is one of the most stunning we’ve ever seen as well. A drift snorkel through the entrance pass was quickly voted one of the best snorkels we’ve ever done. We found a “secret” beach that ended up being not so secret, but still had an amazing time exploring.
Even though it was all too short, we’ll always cherish the time we spent in Fulanga and the incredible people who make it such a special place.
Thanks for watching!

If you haven’t seen any of the Surf Sail ROAM videos, you REALLY need to check them out. ROAM is a gorgeous, homebuilt 48ft catamaran that Michael and Liss have sailed from Australia throughout the South Pacific, including to French Polynesia. Going the WRONG WAY! Here’s a link to their channel:

Wondering about the outro to this video? We’ve been cheating on Starry Horizons, sailing around the Ningaloo Reef in Western Australia with Sail Ningaloo aboard Shore Thing. It’s been a lot of fun being on a boat and not having to do all the work! Everything has been amazing, including some breathtaking diving that makes me want to skip way ahead in our videos! If you want a bit of a preview of what we’ve seen, you should definitely check these guys out:

Out Chasing Stars
Welcome to Out Chasing Stars! We're Admiral Amy and Captain David and we're currently exploring the world on s/v Starry Horizons, our Fountaine Pajot Helia 44 catamaran. We started out (nervously!) watching our boat get launched in La Rochelle, France in October of 2014. Since then we've completed an entire world circumnavigation, sailing over 37,000nm, and documented it all here on YouTube. We started making these videos to show our family and friends what life was like on a sailboat, and we're still amazed that other people have also started following along. It's been so much fun to share our adventures and we love reading all the comments and support! There's a lot of world left to see so don't forget to check back in and subscribe! You can check out our blog: www.outchasingstars.com And of course, we're also on Facebook and Instagram: https://www.facebook.com/outchasingstars/ https://www.instagram.com/outchasingstars/
