Except in the geographical abridgment, under the heading of “ Progress of Martne Surveys” attached to the Memoirs of the various Hydrographers, the personal services of officers still on the Active List, and employed in the surveying service of the Royal Navy, have not been alluded to ; thereby the lines of official etiquette will not have been over-stepped.

Indigenous Encounters Reflections on Relations Between People in the Pacific
Indigenous Encounters Reflections on Relations between People in the Pacific Katerina Martina Teaiwa He aha te mea nui? What is the most important thing? He tāngata. He tāngata. He It is people. It is people. It is people. tāngata. Māori Proverb You cannot buy with money what can be gained by caring for people, especially your neighbors, says Delgadina Perez Hiton. Having lived for seven decades, Tan Del insists that relationships among people are the only enduring thing a person can count on. Laura M. Torres Souder, Daughters of the Island RELATIONSHIPS A few years ago my father told me of an experience he had on Rabi Island in the northern part of Fiji. He said he was walking through Nuku town past the police station when a man stopped him and introduced himself. When the man said his name my father instantly knew who he was, though they had never met. The man asked him for thirty dollars. My father gave it to him immediately, with no questions about what he needed it for, or why he should give him the money. Later he explained to me that in the 1940s his mother, who was on her home island of Tabiteuea in Kiribati, had been struggling and needed money to help her family get to Banaba to see my grandfather. She went to a man in her village and asked for some help. Without question he gave her a hundred dollars he’d saved. The man at Nuku on Rabi, fifty years later and over a thousand miles from Tabiteuea, was his grandson. -
South Pacific Islands Expedition Cruise
PAPEETE TO LAUTOKA: SOUTH PACIFIC ISLANDS EXPEDITION CRUISE Join us to look for the Pearls of the Pacific. Starting in Tahiti, Silver Explorer will sail through Polynesia via the Cook Islands, Niue and Tonga and will visit several island gems in Fiji. Discover black pearls and underwater wonders, and explore blue lagoons and raised coral islands. Swim with rays and sharks, watch for dolphins and look for seabird colonies on isolated islands in some of Polynesia’s and Melanesia’s best and least known lagoons, or relax on beautiful beaches.

Throughout the voyage, learn about the history, geology, wildlife and botany of these locations from lecture presentations offered by your knowledgeable onboard Expedition Team. ITINERARY Day 1 PAPEETE (TAHITI) Papeete will be your gateway to the tropical paradise of French Polynesia, where islands fringed with gorgeous beaches and turquoise ocean await to soothe the soul. This spirited city is the capital of French Polynesia, and serves as a superb base for onward exploration of Tahiti – an island of breathtaking landscapes and oceanic vistas. Wonderful lagoons of crisp, clear water beg to be snorkelled, stunning black beaches and blowholes pay tribute to the island's volcanic heritage, and lush green mountains beckon you inland on adventures, as you explore extraordinary Tahiti. Day 2 BORA BORA (SOCIETY ISLANDS) 01432 507 280 (within UK) [email protected] | small-cruise-ships.com Simply saying the name Bora Bora is usually enough to induce ashore, the whole community generally turns out to meet gasps of jealousy, as images of milky blue water, sparkling visitors as it is a rare occurrence. -

Buca Bay, Taveuni, Fiji. We Were up at 3:30 Am to Catch a Plane to the Northern Tip of Taveuni, Fiji’S Third Largest Island, Just East of Vanua Levu
July 21: Buca Bay, Taveuni, Fiji. We were up at 3:30 am to catch a plane to the northern tip of Taveuni, Fiji’s third largest island, just east of Vanua Levu. The plane was a fourteen seater and flew low allowing a good view of the coral reefs between islands. There are a great many reefs that would not be visible any other way. They are beautiful to see, surrounded by the dark blue, deep waters, and seen in lighter blues and azure. Once Lynn got used to the plane she took many pictures of the reefs below. We met a couple from Australia who were headed for the same ship we were. The four of us got there earlier than the rest and had nearly an extra half day of adventure. A short van ride from the airport got us to the cruise ship Tui Tai. This is a small ship with 12 cabins and during our stay there were at most 13 passengers. Lynn and I were in one of two staterooms on the upper deck. It was cramped and we appreciated the extra space in the the two grand staterooms. This ship likes to cruise the Northeastern part of Fiji that is more remote from civilization. A short cruise took us to a site from which we bicycled to the International Date Line. We could hop from Sunday to Monday and back again. I could not discern any real difference. Then we snorkeled in a beautiful reef (“the farm”) of mixed soft and hard corals. -

Cruising the Fiji Islands
The Fiji Islands Cruising in Fiji waters offers many of those once-in-a-lifetime moments. You may experience remote and uninhabited islands, stretching reefs, exhilarating diving, plentiful fishing, a range of cultural experiences and you will still leave wishing to cruise further and explore more…just to the next island…and the island after that….. There are so many reasons to cruise the idyllic waters of Fiji. It is one of the warmest, friendliest nations on earth and caters to cruisers looking for adventure, time out, experiences with locals, and isolated cruising. Fiji is a nation comprising 322 islands in 18,376 square kilometers of the Pacific Ocean. The islands range from being large and volcanic with high peaks and lush terrain, to atolls so small they peak out of the warm aqua water only when the tide recedes.

A departure from Port Denarau (which is only 20 minutes from Nadi international airport) will see you at Malolo Island, the southern-most in the Yasawa/Mamanuca chain of islands, in a couple of hours. This chain of islands and reefs is strung out over 80 nautical miles from Malolo to Yasawa-I-Ra-ra. Most of the traveling is inside of the reefs with short passages between many good anchorages and fine beaches. -
