Amy’s family came to visit us in Fiji! Her mom, Lisa; step-dad, Bob; and uncle Phil joined us for a week of sailing around the Yasawa Group as part of Bob’s 60th birthday celebration. We had an absolute blast with them, though I think we’ve been gone so long we forgot how gifts are supposed to work. Amy baked a delicious cake, but they brought us 160 lbs (72 kg) of stuff!
Our tour of the Yasawas included 3 stops over 8 days. First was Navadra Island where we almost lost Lisa forever to the seductive activity of shelling on the beach. We also built a bonfire and competed (poorly) in the World Championship Beach Olympics with the crew of Cheeky Monkey.
Next up was the beautiful Manta Ray resort and a test of the underwater housing for our new video camera. The footage came out amazing, even if those darned manta rays declined to make an appearance for the SECOND year in a row!
The last stop was up at Nanuya Island, the sight of some filming for the Brooke Shield’s movie ‘The Blue Lagoon’. The water was indeed quite blue, but we had more fun going on an adventure to find a woman named Lo. Sadly, that is where our guests had to leave us, but it was so incredibly special to be able to share a bit more insight into the cruising life with them.
Thanks for watching!
