78 – Kava and Lava in Vanuatu
After a rough passage from Fiji, we were looking forward to exploring a new country. We only ended up staying for 5 days, but Port Resolution in Vanuatu definitely didn't disappoint. The big reason for visiting was the chance to hike Mt. Yasur. Oh, and ...
77 – A Fountaine Pajot Regatta to Vanuatu
The time had come to depart Fiji and this time we had a bit of company. Two other Fountaine Pajot catamarans joined us for the passage over to Port Resolution, Vanuatu. But before we could clear out of Fiji, we had to celebrate the Admiral's birthday! O...
Big-Ass Boat to the Rescue – Fakarava – Chase the Story 49

76 – Birthdays and Beachcombers in Fiji
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 ...
75 – Sailing Across Fiji… With Hitchhikers!
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...
74 – Our Fijian Cultural Immersion In Fulanga
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 abso...
73 – A Two Day Sail to Fiji’s Fulanga
Fulanga here we come! We're sailing through the incredibly remote Lau Group in Fiji and it's about a 140nm sail from Vanua Balavu down to Fulanga at the southern end. We could do that in an overnight sail, but instead we broke things up with a 70nm sail ...
72 – Sailing Vanua Balavu’s Inner Lagoon
We weren't quite done yet sailing around Vanua Balavu's Inner Lagoon. After the Oyster Rally cleared out, we sailed over to a beautiful spot called Bavatu Harbour. We had it all to ourselves and found a nice hike up to a stunning lookout back over the Ba...
71 – Fiji’s Bay of Islands: The Most Beautiful Place on Earth
Okay, perhaps that's a bit of hyperbole, but Fiji's Bay of Islands in Vanua Balavu is my pick for the most beautiful place I've ever seen. We had our own private anchorages, were surrounded by unique mushroom rocks, swam in stunningly blue water and even ...
Sailing On A Outremer 49 Catamaran In The Bahamas
For our last day anchored in Royal Island Harbor, our friends Tom and Tammy, on Mac, offered to take us to Spanish Wells so that we could book in. The duo wanted to get some provisions and they knew we couldn’t get Britican close enough to anchor (too sh...
70 – We’re Officially A Sailboat Again! (Sailing To Fiji’s Lau Group)
With Starry Horizons finally all fixed up with battens in her mainsail again, we had been itching to go do a proper sail! This time it was on a passage to Vanua Balavu in the Lau Group on the eastern side of Fiji. This passage must be timed just right so...
69 – How To Pull Off A Mid-Ocean Meet Up
What do you do when you're sailing east and your good friends are sailing past you going west? Meet up in the middle of the ocean of course! We couldn't pass up the opportunity to hang out with our good friends Lewis and Alyssa from s/v Quixotic as you n...
68 – Sailing to Fiji with No Mainsail
The time had come to finally say goodbye to Tonga (and all the humpback whales!) and set sail to Fiji. Just one problem... We couldn't use our mainsail! We've mentioned it in prior videos, but we lost the battens overboard during a storm in Neiafu after...
67 – We Witnessed The First Breaths of a Humpback Calf!
We saved the best of Tonga's Ha'apai Group for last as we were the only humans around to witness a newborn humpback calf being helped to the surface by it's mother in order to take it's first breaths. This was an amazing instance of being in the right pla...
