Cruising in Fiji during cyclone season requires flexibility, as weather patterns shift rapidly and often leave boats exposed on a lee shore. Erica and Warren, sailing in Fiji, report that anchorages in the region are frequently deep, ranging from 40 to 60 feet.15:48 During their stay, a wind shift forced them to relocate their vessel after a night of heavy bouncing and exposure to wind and swell.24:45 The crew emphasizes the importance of performing a Sevu Sevu ceremony upon arrival at remote villages to request permission from the chief to anchor and explore.7:32 This traditional protocol involves presenting kava to village leadership.8:02 While navigating the islands, the crew also managed electrical repairs, specifically replacing a power distribution block and remote switching panel after a system failure.2:12 They note that the lush, green landscape of the islands during the wet season is deceptive, as the vegetation often consists of sharp, dense grasses that make hiking difficult.26:14
