S/V L'ORIENT

Jessie James and family When was the last time you went to the supermarket? Yesterday or over the weekend perhaps? For us it was nine weeks ago. Having found arguably the most beautiful place in the South Pacific in Fulaga, we did what sets L'ORIENTals apart from all other cruisers........we lingered.

Good for shade; but hope it doesn't fall on me First class swimming hole Along the way though, we really got to know the people of Fulaga. Just an amazing group of people that live differently than anyone we've ever met. No running water, no electricity, no roads, cars, limited solar, etc.  The path to the village - we walked it many times The other side of the island Lali- used for summoning villager
