First Stop...FIJI!!! | Exploring the Fijian Islands on Our Pacific Crossing EP68

Crossing the Pacific Ocean on a 50ft Selene trawler is not for the faint of heart, but the destinations along the way make every mile worth it. Our first stop on this Pacific crossing is Fiji, and it has completely blown us away. From crystal-clear water to lush islands and warm island culture, the Fijian Islands are easily one of the most breathtaking destinations we have ever experienced. As we continue our journey through the South Pacific, with future stops planned in places like Tahiti, Bora Bora, and beyond, we know there will be some tough comparisons ahead. But for now, Fiji sets an incredibly high bar and may just be the most beautiful paradise we have ever visited. In this episode, join us as we depart Vuda Marina and make our way to Musket Cove, one of the most iconic cruising destinations in Fiji. Known for its incredible fishing, diving, snorkeling, and world-class resorts, Musket Cove is a must-stop for sailors and cruising yachts exploring the South Pacific. If you love boating, sailing, ocean crossings, and exotic destinations, we think you’ll really enjoy following along this season as we voyage from Australia to North America aboard our Selene trawler.
