We must free ourselves of the hope that the sea will ever rest. We must learn to sail in high winds.

Crossed the date line to Nakama Bay Qamea and what an idyllic spot with a
back drop of steep lush bush and a long curved sandy beach giving us shelter
from the steady SE trades. Did a little snorkel in the rain around the next
point which was improving the more we moved along it until some complained
it was cold, hey this is Fiji. Back for hot soup.[END]

More exploring, more driving, more awesome places, more amazing views. Standing right in the center, 2km below the original base of an impact crater, created by an ancient comet at Goose Bluff was definitely one of the highlights!! On the hunt for a campsite we noticed a track leading off into the red dunes out the back of a 24hr rest area. Found a nice little spot tucked away out in the red sand under some trees for the night. Massive moon.[END]

All gorged out after today. Very spectacular, very touristy, very cold water. Started on road/track to Boggy Hole in the Finke Gorge Nat park, but road was terrible so it was going to be a slow 33ks. Turned back and went into Palm Vally and found a nice spot in the dry Finke river bed for the night instead. So much to do around this area, prioritising is tricky!!!![END]
