Yasawa Islands Part 2 Blue Lagoon | Ep 81
Part two of the Yasawa Island Chain. This week we visit the beautiful Blue Lagoon where Brooke Shields filmed the famous movie and got in a good bit of snorkeling.
We are a surburban blended family that has raised our 3 older children and now want to travel the world. After planning and saving for the past 6 years we are now in a position to follow our dream of circumnavigating the world. Follow our journey as we Circumnavigate the Globe in 3-4 years on a budget of $4,800/mo (food, communication, fuel, insurance, transportation, mooring/marina & fun). We left the US in October 2023 and plan to visit 26 countries and 6 continents.

Yasawa Islands FIJI Kava Corruption Ep 80
Просмотров 2,1 тыс.16 часов назад
Who would have thought there would be such corruption in such a beautiful place? We quickly learned that ANYONE will take your kava as we start making our way down the Yasawa Island chain. Davis gets up on his knee board from the water for the first time and Shannon gets spooked in a dark and haunted cave. We are a surburban blended family that has raised our 3 older children and now want to tr...
Sailing to the Yasawa Islands from SavuSavu Split Rock | Ep 79
Просмотров 2 тыс.14 дней назад
After spending 10 days in SavuSavu, we begin our trek west to the Yasawa Islands. On our way out, we stop at the Cousteu Resort to snorkel Split Rock before beginning our journey weaving through reefs. It took us 3 days to sail 149nm because we only wanted to move during daylight to avoid hitting one of the many reefs. We are a surburban blended family that has raised our 3 older children and n...

We arrive in Fiji to the sleepy fishing town of Levuka and were greeted by some of the nicest people we have met!

On this episode, we depart the Vava'u group in Tonga and head 415nm west to Levuka, Fiji. The weather is not the best and the wind comes and goes but we get a little excitement when we sail through a huge school of yellow fin tuna! Rob slows the boat and hangs outside a reef before we enter to anchor in our 9th country of FIJI. We are a surburban blended family that has raised our 3 older child...

After an amazing couple of days in the Ha'apai group and fulfilling Shannon's bucket list activity of swimming with whales, we head north to meet up with our buddy boats.

Sporty sail to Ha'apai Tonga to swim with WHALES | Ep 74
Просмотров 2,6 тыс.Месяц назад
After four short days, we leave Niue to sail to the Ha'apai group in Tonga. We were concerned that we were not going to be able to swim with Humpback whales as all the tours in Niue and the Vava'u group were completely booked. A small eco resort in the Ha'apai group had a last minute cancellation and we detoured our plans to make Shannon's dream of swimming with whales come true. We are a subur...

      It was just frustrating for us wanting to respect Fijian customs but not knowing the “correct” person and learning anyone would take the kava. Thanks for watching!

  • @PaulLue

    The presentation of Kava to the tribal chiefs seems to have become a little sketchy and predatory.

    • @SailingParadiseFalls
      @SailingParadiseFalls 6 дней назад

      It's a custom to present a gift for savusavu. The gift actually can be anything. They will accept fishing gear, dry goods and even gas. As long as they accept the gift, everything it good. Kava is just the traditional gift. Some villages even don't want Kava at all as their religion forbids it.

We are LOVING NZ so far and is probably our most favorite country out of the 10 we have seen so far. If your up this way, give us a shout :)

    Rob, Shannon and Captain Davis, you are settling in well to the world of sailing, you never know you may want to circumnavigate the seven seas, Shannon it is hard when you have family that are close to you especially where you are now. Do you have FaceTime with the family and friends? We all admire what you are all doing and having Rob there with his confidence goes a long way to making your trip safe. Hey noticed that Captain Davis is starting to grow a chin goatee, now that is a real Pirate 🏴‍☠️. Be safe and God Bless you all 😇🙏⛵️

      Actually, we sold at the very height of the market. Last I looked at the Zillow value, it was less than what we sold for. Yes the boat is a depreciating asset, but these adventures will outlast the house in our memories.

    Shannon always hard to say goodbye to friends especially when you get so close as you do with sailing buddies. Your diving is coming along great, we would not think of doing the cave dives, so it was special to see you give it a crack. Safe voyage to your next stop and also have you got the app “Sea People” this has been developed by Riley and Elayna, similar to No foreign land. Anyway take care, safe sailing and God Bless you all. PS - Can Captain Davis give us all a “I” I” as the Pirate of the Pacific Islands.
