Correction ,day 76 . We have just arrived to and island called Wakaya . We left at 4.30 am and crused at a average of speed of 12nts and surfing at 16nts . A slow day fishing but a great day cruising . In the last 4 days we landed 3 Mahimahi , 1 Yellow fin and another Dog Tooth Tuna .so the freezer is getting full and we are eating like Kings . We called into a very small island called Wailagilala for the nite, 2 days ago and had some very cool dives . We had 3 sharks to play with on the last dive . It was on a drop off that went from 8mts to 120 mts so very interesting .Plenty of Coral Trout ,Grouper and Massive cod .Stev and I needed some exercise so we swam about 200mts to shore and had a big Barracuda swimming around and a couple of Stingrays on the way in . On the walk we meet up with the care taker and hes son and they gave us a rundown on what was happening on the island and a good talk on the rugby lol .It was an OZ guy who owned it and he was slowly going to turn it into a small resort . Yesterday we Anchored off an island called Cicia so we had to go ashore and go through a Sevusevu witch is a traditional welcoming with the Chef and the head of the village . It involves setting around in a circle and they do there welcome and say a prayer for safe travels and we give them some Carver ( Tradional Drink made up of the roots off the Carver plant ) and a donation and go on our way . Pretty cool . Tomorrow off to Levuka on the island of Ovalau . .... Trying to down load photos but the reception is crap so hopefully tomorrow it will be better : )
