1807 FAR NORTH TO SAVUSAVU

Saling back to west and civilisation after these wild days on the reefs...

MATANGI in sight: A perfectly shaped micro caldera where a nice family resort was nested 15 years ago...

Resort still there,  top range, still friendly and with best Pina Colada 


NASALESE: a super place to pick up a crew with airport cloed to anchorage





"Mi cuit" of fresh Mahi Mahi, so simple, no good...

After strange directions in the straits east of TAVEUNI, wind stabilize in the south n pick up again full speed


Not far from SAVU SAVU, not too far to enter in the mooring area today

SAVU SAVU: big change with colossalworks...
Flying foxes left n ll give place to a complex resort/marina

SAVU SAVU is still one of the friendliest place in the world
