Fiji - Via Long Beach, White Sandy, Kuata bay and Bounty Island 14th May to 21st May After a life of luxury for 2 days in Oarsmen's Bay we left the crystal clear waters of the area and started the journey to Long Beach Resort. After a morning of kayaking in the sun the afternoon promised much but delivered little. As the call came from the captain to depart The Flyer we headed down to the one fishing boat that was waiting for us, perfect on any normal day bu...
