Vaiti Bay to Navitai

Clive Carrington-Wood

An exciting exit through the reef with Dave as lookout on the bow saying, “I’m not happy, I’m not happy!”, keeping us safe from rocks/ bommies. We then cautiously navigated along the reef in the middle of SomoSomo strait and finding no suitable anchorage, enjoyed a drift dive, with Happy Spirit drifting with Rick remaining onboard to look after her. The rest of the crew enjoyed an hour’s snorkelling on colourful and varied corals with plenty of fish and other sea life to view. After the dive we proceeded on around the Northern tip of Taveuni before anchoring at Qamea Island, opposite Taveuni.
