It's time to leave FULAGA probably for ever; we have not so much time with Jim and decide to sail to the north of the LAU. An pleasant overnight sailing lead us to the VANUABALEVU ; but NW entrance is far to be easy even with good light because the water is not so clear; we land in the village of DAICONI to present our kava before finding an isolated anchorage not far from the pass.
 |
| Pass of FULAGA: clear and without danger... with good light |
 |
| Entrance NW of VANUA-BALEVU was much less clear that this one and a the local fisher help was very welcome |
 |
| DALKONI, "village of entry" controlling all nothern VANUABALEVU |
 |
| What is missing in this village ? |
 |
| JIM's joy with dinghy exploration in pure nature: nobody around as anchoring safely is not so easy in NW island |
 |
| Flying foxes, neighbours, unfortunatly now disappeared from SAVU SAVU with the construction of the new marina |
 |
| Very good spearfishing with clear water on closed reef barrier of the NW pass, but at anytime... |
