Adventures in the South Pacific - Issue 8

An Exquisite Fall Equinox

We woke up the next day and prepared for our departure. Brian was feeling a little rough as he hadn't slept well at all and he was achy after the Kava.

Pastor Kali had asked for a tour of the yacht, so Brian took the dingy to the beach to pick he and 2 of his lovely children up. They brought us Fijian donuts - tortillas bathed in coconut. Very yummy breakfast.

We left Somo Somo and headed to one of the most beautiful locations I've ever been. The spot where they filmed the Blue Lagoon.

 

The Australians on the Cumulus II, the ones we had met previously that Jess went snorkeling with, were already there. We stopped by the boat and Brian and captain David (the grandfather) had quite a chat about sailing, yachts, and much more. I had a nice conversation with David's wife.

We headed to shore at one of the resorts in the Blue Lagoon. There are several, some like Turtle Island are so exclusive you aren't allowed to walk on their beach and the patrons are flown in on sea planes.

Jess got to play with the kids he snorkeled with from the Cumulus II and 2 other girls staying at the resort from Australia. They made up some crazy water games and had a wonderful time together.


It was Fall Equinox - the night I lead the Golden Water Dolphin Meditation for Planetary Healing each year. I went onto the top deck of the yacht, threw in my last imperial topaz and began the meditation. It was very powerful under an almost full moon.

It was the first time ever that David Adams from Australia and I were in the same part of the world doing the meditations in such close proximity.

I was moved by the experience.



Later I reveled in the moonlight streaming through the skylight in the master stateroom.
