Onetahuti - Watering Cove

The forecast today was for gusts up to 35kt, so we headed off to find a bit of shelter. Vela also had some work to do, so we had to find a spot with some wifi - which unfortunately meant heading closer to civilization.

The best spot we found with a bit of shelter and some decent reception was Watering Cove, so we put the anchor down and pulled out the laptops. It turned into an absolute scorcher of a day, so we spent most of it hiding from the heat, encouraging the breeze to blow through the boat.

Nathan's fishing exploits culminated in catching a starfish, and a bunch of seagrass. The waters don't seem to be laden with fish down here, possibly a result of all the motor boats blasting up and down the coast...

Once most of our work was done and it got a little bit cooler, we took the dinghy ashore and walked 500m up the hill to find a view. We spent over an hour enjoying the scenery and getting artsy with some photography.

Afterwards we headed back to the boat and Vela cooked up her always amazing pork belly with some potatoes and egg plant on rice.Read more
