The day started like any other in paradise. On the Island of Malolo, Fiji, an incredible sunrise found the horizon dotted with small boats that carried local villagers from neighboring islands to work at our hotel. We too had decided to be afloat that day and reserved three spots on the classic S/V Seaspray, a vessel best known for its role in movies and television shows. It’s not often that you get the opportunity to sail on one of these classic twenty-five meter schooners!
Paradise as a Figian beach
A fast speedboat was to pick us up promptly at 1000 and rendezvous with Seaspray at Mana Island. I rounded up the family and made it to the dock by 9.55 AM, only to discover that the ferry had left with another couple at 9:30 AM. The fact that the speedboat departed without us early, and was required to return and make an extra round trip, should have been our first clue that things might not be right in paradise.
