On Sunday, October 2 there was no wind so we decided to motor along to Nasau Bay. It was a beautiful quiet bay with a small village and a resort. We anchored in a nice spot then decided to check out the snorkelling. It was absolutely incredible probably the best snorkelling that we had ever done. We couldn’t believe the water clarity and the colours and varieties of corals. We stayed out that long that we all managed to get sunburnt as well. After snorkelling we had an afternoon snooze then took a dinghy ride to the beach and went for a fossick along a secluded beach. In the evening I cooked up a nice curry and we played dominoes until 10pm. The next morning we were up early and Flynn had a lesson from Ian on coconut opening with a large machette. The coconut was delicious once we got the husk off. We then went snorkelling again on the other side of the bay. The reef was just as beautiful and I managed to spot 2 turtles underwater that disappeared pretty quickly. After a couple of hours we headed back to Faraway and got her ready for the sail back to Taveuni. Luckily the wind had picked up so we were able to show Graham and Flynn how Faraway actually sails instead of motoring. We arrived at the anchorage off the pizza place in Taveuni around 3pm and all went to shore.
