We left Denarau Marina on the 5th of July and sailed
to Musket Cove on Malolo Island a distance of about
20 miles. This island is perfectly protected from
swell and there are numerous resorts and a small
marina there. We met up with the Delos crew again
and celebrated July 4th again as it was July 4th
in the US on the 5th in Fiji. Much beer and red wine
and another barbie. We spent three days in Musket
Cove snorkelling and then went on to Mana Island and
then Yava Island in the Yasava group of island. We
anchored in Yalobi Bay and visited with the chief for
Sevusevu and toured the village. There was quite a bit
of swell in the anchorage so we moved on yesterday to
the next island of Naviti. We are anchored a Manta Ray
Point at the southern end of Naviti and we will go
looking for Manta rays today if the wind stays calm.
Photos to follow when we get some internet access,
which is nonexistent here. We will spend a few more
days in the  Yasawas and then back to Musket Cove
and then Denarau.
