Sailing the Yasawa islands
North of the Mamanucas the Yasawas stretch for eighty kilometres: the Blue Lagoon, the Sawa-i-Lau caves, village visits with the customary sevusevu gift of kava, and reef passes that need daylight and a skipper who knows them. A week from Denarau reaches the middle Yasawas and returns.
