We spent the day anchored at North Minerva reef, which we had all to ourselves. We were quickly reminded why this is such a special place. We entered the pass to this reef in the middle of the ocean at about 7 am this morning. Had a quick nap and then Gary and Brian went spear fishing for a few hours and Gary caught a big grouper. After lunch the family headed out for a little fishing then snorkeling. I caught a tuna while trolling. Snorkeling was awesome and Gary speared a large almako jack, the one fish he really wanted to catch while here. It was a perfect shot, right through the gills into the brain, no meat damaged at all. We ate that for dinner, delicious! After dinner we walked the reef to get lobster. We got about 25 lobsters. Gigi got about 6 of them and Gary and Brian got the rest. We will eat really well for the next few days.
Tomorrow we head off for Savusavu in Fiji. It is about 450 miles and should take us about 3 days.
Fair winds and calm seas,
Julie
