Still sailing in FIji




What a great place to sail, FIJI has some of the most beautiful beaches I have ever seem. miles and miles of white sandy beaches, no one in sight for miles, deserted beaches and pristine reefs to snorkel as well. The diving here is spectacular and there are many dive shops available in the area. Currently Elysium is sailing to Taveuni where the White wall is located...total drop off dive! The Yasawa's are a great place to visit by sailing boat and stop at many of the resorts to check out there beaches, a nice full body message for 40.00 and you also have the famous Kava time with the Chiefs of the villages we visit!

Today we stopped at the island of Yadua and there is no one here, a beautiful island all to ourselves....So many stars in the sky and Orion's belt is very clear most of the nights..The waters are crystal blue and the people are very friendly here in Fiji!!

Hope to see you out here soon for a visit!!!!

Octupus Resort, Fiji , This is where I met Julie



After being in Fiji for a few months and a few visitors from Europe and America joining in on some of the Adventures, I have come to find some fantastic places. One of my most incredible and favorite place to visit is the GREAT resort called Octopus Resort located in the Yasawas Group in Fiji. The management, Ross and Poly from Scotland and local staff from a nearby village are superb and are always very welcoming to incoming visitors from everywhere. They are very friendly and courtesy to all and the resort is by far rated the best in the moon and lonely planet guides. I can see why they are rated so well. In Fact this resort even in low season is full to capacity even so that they also provide excellent tents with comfortable beds in them. I Highly recommend if you are planning to visit fIJI To make Octopus resort a must place to stay. They are also welcome visiting yachts as if you were their guest as well...

Other than that Elysium is by far the best way and place to be when visiting the Fiji area!!!
