Ep 68 - Ist das der BESTE Ankerplatz bisher? - Sailing Sea Pearl

This is our marine professional with whom we have been exploring the seas of our world since August last year, always looking for beautiful places and great photographs. My husband Matthias and I, Luisa, hope you come on board every Sunday and be the first. -hand. Thank you for watching your likes and comments on our videos after our crossing from Tonga in the Cook Islands over 1350 nautical miles we arrived at Servo Sabo officici in the last episode, cleaning the boat, enjoying the calm bay and waiting. let the authorities pass because the wait this time Luisa takes a little longer than expected to make a cake and we hope to simplify the procedure a little with the officials because the officials do not want to be filmed, we do not have any material, just a lot of paper and a lot of forms, but overall the process was easy for us and we can see the flag of the host country, Hesse, in the city, we clearly notice the Indian and Chinese influence in Fiji and we make our way, partly by taxi and partly on foot, to pay the various declaration fees and buy some food the next day, go further east to the island of tawbioni, it is a shame that we can no longer enjoy the beautiful place and the most beautiful bay. , what is Luisa doing because she is decorating the boat for her birthday, congratulations, honey, we have benefited from the aid package from the Bavarian aid package of My dad found meat pie from more than a year ago and today we took it with Titian cheese and onion bread.

In honor of Luisa's birthday, we even get to enjoy some great

sailing

and a family from Pilotwale stops by for a bit too. We are now anchored off Tavigioni Island, there is Paradise Bay Paradise. Bay Resort, it is still quite windy and therefore quite wavy. The anchorage is not very calm and that is the case, so we did not want to let ourselves go to the buoy because it is very rocky. We are allowed to go to the buoy. Tomorrow we do want to go to bed, but definitely for dad and Andreas and the anchor it is holding well.

We can see behind us, in the 6 meter deep water, the corals at the bottom, the colorful fish swimming, super cute, I already wanted it. in the water it's nice, but we had a little stretch when anchoring because we or before anchoring, we actually kept the sail and the engine at idle and when we wanted to go shopping, the speed went down more and more, it went down even more. There is obviously something wrong with the diesel system, or this pest, I hope it is very nice, maybe it is just air in the system. In any case, we still have ten days until the next marina and we want to get the engine serviced correctly in the hopes that it will.

It's nothing bad, it's maybe just that the filter is closed or you just need to let out a little air, maybe you have to clean the tank too, but it's definitely strange because the engine just stopped, so that's what's happening at the front and we're talking about that. The sail had already been removed, of course we were able to deploy it again and we still had a lot of space, i.e. about 100 meters of space, but it doesn't feel very good when you are actually under the engine and the engine then stops close to the ground.

But it was okay, we made it, then we turned it back on because Matías Manuel was pumping while I started it, so everything is fine and the wind should now die down. down, um early afternoon, so it'll probably be quieter overnight, but let's see. We will see how long we will stay here because tomorrow we will continue running to be able to take advantage of the windless day tomorrow. to head southeast, that is, in the direction of the prevailing wind, and then look at some anchorages in the garden of the island at the resort and then we will pick up Luisa's dad and Andrea.

Let's enjoy the sunset and then we will go to enjoy a delicious meal. At the hotel he even sang a serenade to Luisa. We experience this many times on these islands. Singing is simply a part of it here and it is a pleasure to experience the enthusiasm with which the locals are. Early the next morning we set off into the announced calm east towards Lauglobe, unfortunately the wind picked up during the day, contrary to all forecasts, and came straight from the front. We made our way and still managed to cross the entrance to Banua Balla with light, where we had daylight to reach the anchorage.

Then unfortunately the anchor no longer holds but we still slept well and slept well. As the first stop on the lauglobe we go to the town to receive a welcome gift in the dry twisted covering the roots and the sevo ceremony, unfortunately without photos because it seemed too spiritual to us. To get permission to use the village resources and also the anchorage, we also arranged a guided tour by the chief to something like the tourism officer later in the day. Unfortunately our outboard motor breaks down and then we return to the boat and the entrance to the Bayer of Iceland is spectacular, it delves between eroded limestone towers and rocks to an absolutely protected anchorage in unreal blue waters.

It is one of the most impressive anchorages of our trip so far. Thanks to the village guide, we then see incredibly beautiful corners with the boat, first underwater caves with a great play of colors, sorry for the fogged up, very narrow GoPro housing. passages between limestone rocks with corals below us, another cave where warriors gathered before a fight and finally a huge colony of flying foxes, the largest local mammals. I only managed to repair the outboard motor the next morning by cleaning the carburetor. , but look at this background, incredibly beautiful and underwater it is as wonderful as in an aquarium.

After these beautiful impressions, we look for a way out of the rock maze and we do it. We embark on a night trip back to the west. we have a strong wind and after about an hour there is a huge mahimai on our new hand line, food for the next few days is assured. Our destination is Macogai Island, about 140 nautical miles away. Once again there is a rift pass. With the help of satellite images we hide anchored in front of a large area of ​​rain, there are fish plants and thus we can protect ourselves from bad weather.

Next week we will show you here our additional family time in Fiji. Thank you for watching and for all your comments. Like our videos if you haven't already, you will do us a big favor if you also subscribe to our channel until next Sunday.
