Makogai

I had forgotten what a magical little bay this is, with incredibly clear blue water, a quiet peaceful little village, and green on green jungle all around. This is where the Leper colony was and it is now the educational center for growth and study of the giant clams. It is great to be here again, and we will stay another day, today, just to snorkel and soak up the beauty of true Fiji before we head to Savusavu tomorrow. We had an amazing sleigh-ride sail over here from Levuka, riding waves with gentle 12-18 kt SE warm winds, taking us directly to our destination; it doesn't get better than that! Instead of trying to bash into the easterly winds to Koro, we decided just to hang and hopefully do another smooth journey tomorrow directly to Savusavu. Love to all!
