Almost Perfect Timing

As we were approaching the Naigoro pass at Kadavu, we saw a boat that’s hard to mistake just on the inside. I got out the binoculars to confirm, and yes, it looked like a big metal ketch, and yes, it was Caminante! We hadn’t seen them since Savusavu because they had taken a different path and skipped the Lau group because they had guests to pick up on the big island. It’s one of those funny things out here that sometimes you say good-bye and never see someone again and sometimes you just have a random chance encounter. Unfortunately, we were a day too late this time, as Caminante was heading off that morning, but luckily, we will catch back up with them in Suva.
