Paso Doble in SavuSavu, Fiji |
Diana James, Cathy Jones, Helen Tom and myself have all sailed aboard Little Dragon as has Hans Schwab-Triado. I assume he felt that was qualification enough to invite us to join him on Paso Doble for a couple of weeks. Diana and Helen crewed from Tonga to SavuSavu in Fiji and Cathy and I took their places from SavuSavu to Musket Cove near Nadi in Fiji. There is just no comparison between the luxurious conditions on Paso Doble and cruising on Little Dragon.

Paso Doble is a 13 metre Fountaine Pajot Belize catamaran and her voyage started in Barcelona almost 18 months ago and will end just before Christmas in Brisbane.

Sometimes it is wet, windy and even chilly in Fiji |

Most of the time the weather was glorious |
|
We visited a village near the Blue Lagoon in the Yasawas |
We spent many glorious days snorkelling on so many different coral reefs that it is hard to say which was best, but I reckon Namena Marine Park takes the prize. Hans reckoned it was as good as the Coral Gardens in Tonga.

Just a typical coral beach in the Yasawas |
After two wonderful, decadent weeks on Paso Doble it is hard to come down to earth and focus on mundane matters such as Little Dragon's hydraulic trailer brakes. A whole hearted thank you to both Hans and Christian for being such wonderful hosts and hope to see you soon in Byron Bay.
PS Paso Doble will be up for sale soon. Know any prospective buyers?
