Episode #290 : Season 9 : The South Pacific
Hello Friends,
On this episode I depart Savusavu at midnight and make way for the former leper colony island of Makogai Island. Makogai is now under the care of the Marine Fisheries department and is where they grow all of the coral for the Fijian Islands as well as growing the endangered Giant Clams. They also use the facilities as a nursery for sea turtles when they are hatching.
I have an amazing visit with the only two occupants of island, Pau and Mary. Heard about there life there and got a tour of the grounds.

Sailing Triteia
My name is James and I have recently untied the lines for good and set off to start a slow circumnavigation of this big beautiful world. After 4+ years of refitting my 1965 Alberg 30 she is finally ready for some serious sailing. In 2021 I completed my first solo ocean crossing from Los Angeles to Hawaii traveling 2300 nm and will be heading south in the summer of 2022, bound for the South Pacific.
