What this video covers
Warren and Erica sail their boat 300 miles across open ocean to anchor at Fulaga, one of the most remote island groups in Fiji's Lau Group, arriving as the fourth boat of the season.▶ 4:32 On arrival, they hike 15 minutes across the island to the village chief to perform the sevusevu ceremony — presenting kava root to receive permission to anchor and explore — a protocol they describe as more formal here than at the Yasawa Islands.▶ 1:23 The village assigns them a host family, Mere and John, who feed them fresh-baked coconut bread and walk them through the village school, which serves roughly 50 children.▶ 7:47 Warren troubleshoots a solar-powered Starlink connection at the school, which can only run during daylight hours due to the solar setup.▶ 20:56 The crew donates snorkel gear, peanut butter, crayons, and molding clay.▶ 22:42 They also encounter Ty, a village comedian documented by the crew of Delos 13 years earlier, and watch craftsmen carve traditional kava bowls by hand from Nowanawa wood, inlaying shells, with pieces sold to passing yachts.▶ 24:21 Dinghy exploration of the lagoon reveals limestone formations, hidden channels, and a tidal beach that disappears at high water.▶ 13:35 The sevusevu ceremony and host-family system are the practical entry points for any cruiser visiting Fulaga.
