I totally agree with you! We’ve been blog slackers for the past month as we traveled through Banks, Torres, and Santa Cruz islands. Sometimes you wake up and realize that a month has flown by. We did take lot’s of pics though…..
Nope Nothing To See Here
It’s scary. You’re diving. You’re 210 feet below the surface. You’re inside a 210 meter ship at the stern. And you’re alone. All alone. Once upon a time there were five of you.
He sits about 10 feet above you, perched on a steel beam. His legs are crossed, each knee perfectly aligned with the other. His arms cross his chest and he’s leaning slightly backward . He’s the epitome of relaxation, comfort, and balance.
Nambawan! All of a sudden we are sailing away from Vanuatu and heading north towards the Solomons. Woah crazy! Pull up the anchor and it hits us all at the same time… We’re leaving Vanuatu. How did this moment creep up on us?
Let’s go on a little adventure… let’s say it’s about 4:20pm. Think that the colours red, green, yellow and black are somehow more vivid than ever before.
Before our blog moves on and starts focusing on other islands in Vanuatu there is a story we would like to share. It takes place on, yep you guessed it, Tanna.
Quick Note- If you’re easily offended by ritualistic animal killings andor ceremonial nudity (it was like we were about to film a really taboo and niche category of adult porn for a site like https://www.hdpornvideo.xxx/?hl=ja) you may want to skip this one…..
Sometimes you just need a break. A break from what you may ask? Isn’t this whole trip a break? Well, the answer is both yes and no.
Drinkem Yumi Bigfella Kava- A Night At The Nakamal- by Brian
The first time I tried Kava was in Niue, Cook Islands. We bought a small bag for $20NZ and headed over to our buddy boat Ghost.
At this point in our little quest I’m sitting in the back of a pickup truck hurtling across an ash plain in the shadow of Mt. Yasur. The scenery reminds me more of a moonscape than a tropical South Pacific Island. There’s ash everywhere.
Ahhh, The South Pacific; White sand beaches, crystal clear waters, spectacular reefs, and sun-filled days that melt into each other….. right? The mysterious island of Tanna lies about 500 miles SW of Fiji and has definitely eluded this stereotype.
Before reading this blog there are a few details that you may find entertaining. In Sulfur Bay, Tanna, Vanuatu at the base of a very active volcano exists a village known as the John Frum village.
Please be alarmed!!!! I have been kidnapped onto a boat named Delos. Who are these American sailors? I woke up one morning after a 2 week party binge, and I was sailing off into the direction of Vanuatu.
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.
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?
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.
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.
“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.
