Thursday, September 22 - we left the Savu Savu anchorage at lunch time and sailed for 20 minutes around to the point and anchored off the very exclusive and expensive Costeau Resort. Luckily we found a sandy spot to anchor in amongst the beautiful coral reef. We got the kayaks down and paddled around a deserted island which had a very unusual poodle like rock formation next to it. We walked along the small white beach and stretched our legs. Just before sunset we paddled over to the resort. We were told that guests pay between US$800 to US$2200 per night so we kayaked in close to see what all the fuss was about. We soon decided that we might not be welcome in our t-shirts and boardies so went back to Faraway to watch the sunset with a cold beer on our own exclusive floating resort. Strangely we were the only yacht anchored out on the reef so we had the place all to ourselves. The plan is to get up early in the morning and sail along the coast 20 miles or so towards Taveuni to the next anchorage. We still haven't decided which anchorage we are heading to as it depends on the wind. Luckily the winds are no where near as strong as they were yesterday.
