Clearing into the Paradise of Fiji Ep 177

#sailingfamily #fiji #clearance #boatlife
We arrived in Fiji after a long passage and take you through the process of clearing into a country.
As we cannot wait to explore land, we investigate the heat coming from the geothermal springs and also head off to a waterfall for a well deserved swim.
Darroch and Yewan make friends with the local kids and get involved with the dinghy optimist sailing ( more about this in the next episode) .
Then we head off to Paradise resort on the island of Tavenui where we learn all about their permaculture farm and enjoy a delicious dinner at their restaurant.

I praise Allah you all safely arrived in Fiji. I don't quite understand the issue with the flag, so the flag you have is actually a Fijian flag? Sorry about your propeller fish line problem, grateful it wasn't worse. The kids seem well and happy which is food to see. You also said the word "pickle", was that an side salute to The Sailing Pickle Family? You smiled when you said it so it got me thinking. Take care my friends and sail safe. 😊❤😊

It's a saying - They're in a pickle. When stuff goes wrong.

[@MotherShipAdrift]

Hello ! We have to fly a courtesy flag for each country we go to but the one we had for Fiji was with a red background and now they use flags with a light blue background. All the best 😊

[@Makingwaves2012]

The editing is really nice 👍 😁

[@MotherShipAdrift]

Thank you 😊

[@timlees660]

Another great episode

[@MotherShipAdrift]

Thanks 🙏😀

That was a large Barry that you caught. I was always told to avoid eating the big ones because they are far more likely to carry ciguatera than younger fish.

[@MotherShipAdrift]

Yep , in the end we kept it frozen for ages and asked some local fisherman about it . They said fish didn’t have ciguatera in that season 🤔 I didn’t realise it was a seasonal thing …

[@jaysea1553]

wow guys what a place your sure are getting to see paradise

[@MotherShipAdrift]

Fiji has so many beautiful places … all coming up in the next few episodes…

[@barryholiday8998]

Always happy to see a video from you guys. The restaurant looked really nice. You all clean up quite nicely 😂

[@MotherShipAdrift]

Its good to get the 'glad rags ' on every now and then :)

[@mopedinthemalverns6661]

Hi! A year or two ago I left a comment saying I was so inspired by your channel that I would learn to sail dinghies; you replied kiindly saying that dinghy sailing is a great way to start! I have now done exactly that and got my RYA Start Sailing 1 level and am loving it. So, thanks for your confidence-inspiring and encouragement Means a lot. Aspiring to get a Mirror or Wayfarer now!

[@MotherShipAdrift]

So happy to hear that’!

[@jeffreylee9799]

Great Video. After a long crossing it must give you a wonderful sense of accomplishment standing on land and looking out at your beautiful boat at anchor just off the beach like that. Good stuff 👍

[@MotherShipAdrift]

It is always such a relief when we arrive , sailing has many highs and lows ⛵️

[@OldSlow]

THE MUSIC IS VERY LOUD, HAVE TO SHOUT TO HEAR MYSELF...

[@MotherShipAdrift]

Sorry !
