Your browser does not support iframes. Tuesday, 27 January 2015.

http://sv-fluenta.blogspot.com/2015/07/fulanga-photos.html
Your browser does not support iframes. Sunday, 26 July 2015. Liz has already reported in detail about our stay in Fulanga but here are a few photos and then a few more (and then a few more) . Mother - Daughter Reef Lookout Team. Always someone on the bow when we move around in a lagoon. Someone went aground in the pass when we were there even though they had a good lookout so you cannot be too vigilant. Returning from doing our first sevusevu. More adventures in extreme nursing. And it is a nice beach.

SV FLUENTA: 17 Jul - Gau - Kid boats on the move
http://sv-fluenta.blogspot.com/2015/07/fluenta-17-jul-gau-kid-boats-on-move.html
Your browser does not support iframes. Saturday, 18 July 2015. 17 Jul - Gau - Kid boats on the move. I should be able to write a shorter email tonight! It is just after midnight, and Benjamin has just fallen asleep. His afternoon nap was a bit late, so I think I just paid the price for a long morning / midday of snorkelling :). The coral here is extraordinary. A few special moments:. Seeing sharks way, way down at the bottom, ignoring us. Seeing the way the colours jump to life when the sun came out.
