75 - Sailing Across Fiji... With Hitchhikers!
April 08, 2018 by Out Chasing Stars | Language: EN Play Time: 00:25:13 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
Amy’s family was coming to visit soon, which meant we had to say goodbye to the Lau Group and set sail across Fiji. Usually Amy and I do our passages with just the two of us, but this time, we had some hitchhikers! Alifereti and Koroi, two villagers from Fulanga needed a ride to Suva for a conference so we offered to drop them off as we sailed to the west side of Viti Levu.
This passage was a slight logistical challenge, with lots of islands in the way and light winds that shifted direction halfway through. My planning skills were put to the test and we got to try a few new sail combinations, including our spinnaker, which is always fun! But I think the biggest highlight of the trip was the GIANT Mahi-Mahi we caught. I was super glad to have some help reeling it in!
All too soon we arrived in Suva and had to say goodbye to our new friends. We elected to stay for one night in order to fuel up and do some provisioning and then it was off for one more night around to Musket Cove. That brought us one step closer to Amy’s family!
Thanks for watching!

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/
