Musket cove, Surfing and job offers

So we had returned from SavuSavu and Greg very kindly invited us to go and stay with him at Musket Cove which is posh resort about an hour from Denauru by boat.  It is also has a small marina and moorings for the yachts, where we would be staying.  Musket Cove is beautiful and is the stereo typical tropical island you see, white sands and palm trees with turquoise water.  Whilst we stayed at Musket Cove we didn’t do too much apart from lounging, surfing, drinking, reading and eating.  

We were also waiting for Things to here about her job offer.  So Greg and I went for surf and dropped Things at the resort.  We went and surfed a spot called Restaurants which is a reef break and further around from a world famous spot called Cloudbreak.  It was about head high and clean, but low tide and breaking pretty shallow over the reef.  It was super good to get back in the water as I had not surfed since Mexico, which is far too long for me.  I got one really decent wave that started to barrel but due to my novice experience of surfing barrelling waves on my back hand, I stacked it.  Although not making it, it boded well for spending time surfing in Fiji.  

Another day we surfed another spot called Wilkes.  Wilkes is a right hander that is nice and solid but not as fast as low tide Restaurants and was on my front side so a lot easier.  I had a really good surf here, got plenty of waves and loved it!! I am now super excited about surfing in Fiji and really hoping Things gets the dive instructor job as it means I could be surfing these waves for the next 3 months!!  You know you are somewhere good when your motoring out to the surf spot and you see a turtle diving right next to you.  

We stayed in Musket Cove for a few days and it was awesome.  If you can afford it this is the place to go.  A email came through that Things had got the dive job so it was time to leave musket cove! Rubbish!  But it bodes well for an extended time in Fiji what with Things being employed as a dive instructor.  It is all now in the lap of the gods as visa’s need to be sorted! Uh oh!  Back to NadI and excessive curry eating….
