Moving On.
Even though Musket Cove and Plantation Island are gorgeous, there was much more of Fiji to see.
We left the protected waters of the lagoon and headed out to sea once more.
We anchored near the island where Castaways was filmed. The yacht rocked and rolled all night. I had trouble sleeping.
We continued on.
The next night we anchored in what's referred to as Bly Waters. This is where captain Bly ran from the cannibals.
It's a bit unsettling to know that the Fijian people you encounter today are the descendants of cannibals.
Brian purchased a pair of Cannibal forks before we joined his adventure. They are proudly displayed in the salon (living room) along with many flower, shell, and other necklaces he received in greeting from the various locations and villages he has visited thus far.
Again the wind was up and the boat rocked and rolled at our location.
Jess will be 12 years old soon. This journey is definitely a lot like a rite of passage ceremony. He's being exposed to many new things and he has been given much more responsibility than he is used to. Brian cuts him no slack, which I feel at this stage of his life is a good thing.
He has daily responsibilities. He's also learned how to tie up the dingy, run the controls to get the dingy up to the top deck, and much more.
He's been driving the dingy.
Also, how to work the controls to pull up the anchor.
Next, on to an encounter with natives . . .
Lots of fun in the tropics,
