Sailing the NORTHERN YASAWA ISLANDS IN WESTERN FIJI (Part 2)

Episode 067 In this week's video, we continue our journey sailing along the Yasawa Islands, an island chain that stretches 80 km across Viti Levu's northwest coast. Our journey started in Yolobi Bay off Waya Island and we have since made our way up the chain of islands stopping in Somosomo to wait out some strong winds. Up to now we have been fortunate to experience what the Yasawas are known for, we've been warmly welcomed by the people who call this place home, walked along its pristine beaches and swam in its turquoise blue waters. But our trip has not gone quite as we planned because?well? the Yasawas can be a windy place which has meant we have lost time waiting in anchorages for the strong winds to pass causing us to be wind locked to T?iko. So far, we've dragged anchor, lost our shoes, sailed to windward in winds that never eased, and never swam with manta rays but still had a win as we instead snorkelled along an amazing fringing reef experiencing what Fiji is well known for. We're still here though and we're determined keep going and sail as far north as we can but with more strong winds forecasted, is it going to be possible for us to do at least one attraction that the Yasawas are known for? We hope you enjoy it! As always, thanks for watching. Sincere thanks to Charlotte Rockstar Jones for composing and recording Te T?iko's theme song.

A nomadic duo who traded land life for a life afloat. Follow us to see what we see and what it's like living a nomadic lifestyle on the big blue. After spending 2.5 years exploring New Zealand's coastline, T?iko is now a CAT 1 registered boat and we have made our first offshore passage sailing from New Zealand to Fiji where we currently are. In December 2021 we moved aboard our sailboat Te T?iko, a Chico 40. T?iko is our floating home. She gives us the freedom to go anywhere the wind and weather allows. Our plan? We try not to make too many plans but we're currently in Fiji and will see where wind and sea will take us next. In the meantime, follow along with us as we navigate this lifestyle. We release a new video every Sunday. #boatlife #boat #travelvlog #digitalnomad #lifestyle #sailing #travel #sailinglife
