September 2008: South Pacific
Momi Bay, Viti Levu, Fiji (S 17.54.818 E 177.15.988)
Beqa Island was in the path of the trades and the winds were steady and strong. But, once we rounded the southwestern tip of the big island the wind reversed, literally 180 degrees and then almost shot off. It was like being in an entirely different place. We planned to enter the reef and anchor in this bay. We were the only boat here and once again this place was incredibly quiet with very light winds. The only sounds heard were an occasional tractor on shore or the roosters at sunrise. The weird thing is that if you did not know where you were you’d swear it was Sonoma, CA.
(this video was shot on the 12th well after we had anchored in Momi Bay and then found the Momi Guns from land)
