Nanuya Lailai is an island in the Yasawa group. It is located north of Nanuya Levu, which was used as a filming location for the film “The Blue Lagoon”. “The Blue Lagoon” is an American drama film from 1980 based on the 1908 novel of the same name by Henry Stacpoole - starring Brooke Shields and Christopher Atkins. This is where we take part in our first Kava ceremony at Semi`s Kava Night. Hours earlier, the food had been buried in an earthen oven and was now being carefully dug up again under the spotlight. The food is delicious and the atmosphere is mystical. ▬ keywords ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ #Levuka #Vuda #Tonga #Vavau #Aitutaki #Morea #Raiatera #Bora-Bora #ilesdesociete #borabora #bora-bora #doldrums #lagoon40 #marianoa #plan #planinternational #blog #vlog #viral #vlogger #lavagabonde #delos #bluehorizon #loveworx #expedition #fiji #cooksislands #societyislands #frenchpolynesia #barefootroute #boatlife #boat #cruising #huricane #hurricaneseason #roundtheworld #circumnavigation #sailing #summer #sunset #travel #pacific #atlantic #catamaran #friends #luck #happiness #sunset #sunrise #beach ▬ about this movie ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Many sailors have enthusiastically raved about their encounters with manta rays in the past. Apart from a manta that swam under MariaNoa on Bora Bora, we had so far been denied an encounter with these majestic animals. In the Manta Ray Alley we encounter the Manta Ray several times. The animals know exactly how deep a snorkeling person can get and keep a close distance. They are huge – at least as big as our dingy and that is almost 3 m long. The pass between Dr. Awaoa and Yasawa Island develops a strong tidal current and is rich in plankton. A paradise for various schools of fish and the Manta Ray. You have specific questions? We love to answer on MariaNoa@gmx.de. ▬ about this channel ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ We are Brigitta and Hannes. Together we do circumnavigation. We bought the catamaran Lagoon 40 MariaNoa with which we set off on the barefoot route from the French Atlantic coast at the beginning of March 2021. For many years, sailing around the world had been my (Hanne's) big dream, which I wanted to realize when I retired due to my career. But sometimes life turns out differently than you planned. In spring 2020 I was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. Suddenly my life sped up considerably, I sold my house, cleared out the household contents and started buying mountains of marine equipment. “Cast off!” was planned for the beginning of March 2021 - and that's how it happened, despite Corona. Brigitta was of course completely surprised at first, even though a circumnavigation fit much better into her professional life as a pre-retiree than into mine. In the last 6 months she has made an amazing development and is looking forward to our big adventure just like I am. Plan International is an international children's aid organization. On our trip we don't just want to chill in dream bays but also visit Plan program countries and document the work there. Become part of our journey and subscribe to our channel!
