This is a great anchorage for diving the Rainbow Reef area of Fiji which is located in the Somosomo Strait between the islands of Vanua Levu and Taveuni. We've been here over a week now in all sorts of wind, rain, sunshine, etc. and have enjoyed a very sheltered and quiet anchorage.

Tracy and I were here in 2004 on a live-aboard dive boat for 2 weeks. Since then, whenever someone would ask me where I thought the best diving and underwater photography was, I would always say, Rainbow Reef, Fiji. Now, 12 years later I can confirm that statement. The diving here in the Somosomo Strait is challenging as the current can be a real issue but, the results are definitely...

From the Mediterranean Sea , the Atlantic Ocean, the Caribbean Sea and the Pacific Ocean we've enjoyed all sorts of fish, clams, oysters, mussels, scallops, lobsters and shrimp. This photo gallery contains photos of some of what we've harvested from the oceans while on the first half of our world circumnavigation.

As we’ve made our way across the Pacific stopping in islands from the Galapagos to French Polynesia, Nuie, Tonga and New Zealand we’ve been mostly disappointed at the unreliable internet service and slow speeds. We’ve tried purchasing 3G SIM cards, Wifi access vouchers and using ’free wifi’ at local bars and restaurants. The quality of the connections have been mostly good enough for...

It was a huge hit in the USA and being here now we can imagine how remote this place was 36 years ago. It's very far from the Fiji mainland and still very beautiful.

We consider this to be our first real anchorage in Fiji as, after weeks of repair, we finally are on our way to visit the islands, reefs and people we came so far to see. While this particular island (Wayasewa) is only about 25 nm from Vuda Marina, it's a world away from the 'mainland'.

Halfway to Fiji from New Zealand, in the middle of the South Pacific, we became becalmed for 2 days. For those not familiar with the term, it means 'stuck in one spot with no wind'. In days of old, this would be a common occurrence as no boat had an engine and when the winds stopped blowing, forward movement did too (unless you had lots of crew who could row!).

Feelin' Good arrived in New Zealand in November of 2015 and all of us enjoyed spending the NZ summer months cruising the North Island, meeting up with our Pacific cruising friends and just hanging out. This video helps document some of the fun times we had and concludes with our passage from Opua, NZ to Nadi, Fiji.
