Gorgeous hike
Anchored at Waya island with IO, we also were able to catch up with our friends on Syzygy, and planned a little adventure.
We'd been eying the mountains around the bay since we arrived. Even cruising down the west side of the island before turning into the south bay, Niall and I sat on deck and daydreamed about what great hiking was waiting for us there... the ridges positively beckoned!
With the six crew on Syzygy, our group made a long snake up the hillside. It was short, but steep, and we were all sweaty and tired by the time we reached the top. As with the best hikes, though- stunning views make it well worth the effort.
Hiking back down is never as fun for me as going up. The real trick, it turned out, was to look away from the amazing views long enough to make sure you didn't wipe out on the rocky hillside. Trail? Yeah, right...
The kids were amazing, and did great on what was a pretty strenuous half day adventure.
While we are away to sailing
Totem is en route to Vanuatu right now. Depending on the wind, we're expecting a transit of three to four days. For the curious, we post our location from sea once or twice a day via Winlink and YOTREPs. They're both linked at the top right of our blog, just below the subscription box.
I think I'm more excited about Vanuatu than any of the countries we've visited so far. I'm trying not to think about it too much, as it always seems best to arrive without expectations of what exactly you'll see and experience... know enough to be prepared, but let a place unfold for you.
Meanwhile, here's a little kiss goodbye from Fiji:
A beautiful view from Totem, as we wove our way through island passes...
...and a snapshot of me in my happy place, hanging out with a beautiful kid.
