We’ve been in Vanuatu waters for almost a week now. The sail was incredibly smooth and peaceful, one of those passages that you really don’t want to end. Just endless sunny days of drifting along on huge, rolling swells. View More

Sunday sucked! Two church services, the longer of which started and ended in gale-ing cyclone weather. The only saving grace between the two church services was the lunch our new Fulagan mother cooked us. Ever eaten sea-grapes? View More

Like most people, I can recall some significant events in my life. I remember my first day of school, first sexual experience, and my first time breathing underwater.  Fulaga was able to check a few more firsts off the list and make them unforgettable.  View More

Our two months in Fiji passed by way to quick. We departed a few days ago and are sailing west, toward the islands of Vanuatu. View More

“What has been your favorite place?” This question is by far the most common we get from people and also the hardest to answer. The island of Fulaga (pronounced Fulanga) in the Lau group of Fiji may be the answer from now on. View More

Isn’t it ironic that in a place world-famous for its bottled spring water the local villages often lack a dependable, clean water supply? Fiji bottled water is shipped all over the world at great expense and sold at a great profit while the village taps often run dry. View More

“Are you coming to church with us tomorrow?”  Of course we are Timothy!  We’re really interested in seeing the service.  “OK, the first service is at 5AM and lasts until 6AM.  At 6AM we start cooking all the days meals in the underground oven.  View More

“Do you want to come spear fishing with us tomorrow?”  Timothy asked.  Of course we do Timothy, sounds like fun.  “Ok then.  Tomorrow morning we will pick you up in our fiber and we’ll dive in the pass.”  Sounds like a plan.  See you tomorrow. View More

“Pita- what kind of meat is she hacking up?” Brady asked. “A turtle caught this morning. Have you ever tasted sea turtle?” We all replied no. View More

When the Minister of Lau Affairs asked me where we wanted to go I told him I didn’t know, and that I would appreciate him recommending an island that was out of the way and very remote with a calm, safe lagoon to anchor Delos.  View More

Since leaving Suva we’ve been island hopping on our way to the Lau group making short 20-30 mile days.  It’s not the most direct route but we’re exploring and in no hurry.  View More

“Don’t land in Suva, it’s dirty, unsafe, and a hassle to get officials to check you in.  Plus it rains constantly and the anchorage smells like garbage.”  Is what a grizzled old cruiser told us in Auckland.  View More
