Fiji has over 330 islands scattered across 750,000 square miles of the South Pacific—about half the size of the continental United States, but the actual land? Just over 7,000 square miles. The rest is all water, so having a boat is a plus in these parts. We won't see them all, but we're damn well going to try. #sailing #wesail #travel #fiji #islandhopping #exploremore #catamarans
