Navadra Island is an uninhabited island in western Fiji. It couldn't be more beautiful. Anchoring behind Navadra gives one the feeling that you are the only one to ever visit this island paradise. Well...that is until the cruise ship comes in and moors just a few hundred feet to starboard!

This is a shot from Quest as the cruise ship comes in and moors VERY close to Wetnose!

 

 

We did some diving nearby and here are a couple shots we  got while there.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here's our friend, Jim, who encouraged me every step of the way to continue building my diving experience. 

 

 

As you see, we had fun taking pictures and splashing around in the water. On the right is an oval butterflyfish (Chaetodon lunulatus).

And to the left a Scissortail sergeant (Abudefduf sexfascinatus) an his friend, the bluestreak cleaner wrasse (Labroides dimidiatus).

 

 

We did have some visitors from the village that actually owned "our" island. I think we gave them some Bibles, other gifts and a little money and they left happy! We had a great time on Navadra, so everyone was happy.

So, here we are at night in our lovely anchorage - another beautiful evening in paradise.
