[status] We had a lot of wind around the Yasawa's and were on a schedule to get our guests Pete and Deb back to Musket Cove by Sunday. We left Nanuya and started to make our way to the southern Islands in the Yasawa group. We had a really good trip after expecting the weather to be worse. The weather forecasts for this area was a lot varied from one to another.
We anchored outside a resort called Botaira on the island of Naviti. We dingyed in and with assistance from one of the staff with our dingy went for a walk. We said we would come and have a drink after our walk which was all good. By 5.15 we went back to the bar to find no one there. Happy hour started at 5.30. So we waited and at 5.40 decided that we would make our own on Malakite. Fiji time again!! We anchored the next day at Kuata Island where the rock formations were incredible. The beach we were at was looked down on by the rocks '2 Grumpy Old Men'. We did some good snorkling there as well.
Back to Musket Cove on Sunday afternoon after a good trip. We dropped off Pete and Deb at Musket Cove and the next day motored down to Denerau. We were unable to get a mooring or Marina berth so have anchored outside the channel at the entrance to the harbour. We have had two nights here and both have been very still and quiet.
Glen's sister, Robyn and husband John have a share in a property on the water ways at Denerau so we spent two days with them as well as catching up with Glen's dad, Graeme and Sue who are staying with Robyn and John. We have had a really good catch up after not seeing them for 3 months. We have just found out that our departure date to Vanuatu has been postponed from Saturday 1st of August until Monday 3rd August. There is a low pressure system that we are waiting to pass, before we head off to Vanuatu.[END]
