With a bit of bright sunlight to help us navigate, we headed to the westernmost part of the Vava’u island group to spend the night in the beautiful lagoon formed by an inactive volcano. This lagoon has to be carefully accessed as it is surrounded by high cliffs and coral with only 3 small openings, only one of which is navigable. Take note of the rock in the entrance requiring some good navigational skills including the ability to differentiate the shades of blue in the water (hence Liz stood watch while Bob steered us in) and bright sunlight which has not been readily available so far this trip. We made it in without incident and attached ourselves to a mooring ball which provided some sense of security as the winds howled all night – not unlike sleeping in a subway station.
