The Life of a Gamefishing Charterboat Skipper on a Remote Fijian Island

I am sitting on my house front deck just tapping away at the keyboard and uploading a new blog item and happen to glance out at the spectaculor view in front of Matava Eco-Adventure Resort and look what's right out in front of me...

See anything ? Take a closer look.....

How about with the contrast 'tweaked' ?

Is this a cool place to live or what !!!

Storm Chasing in Fiji

The weather in Fiji is generally pretty nice all round but what with me being a Storm Chaser at heart, I am always on the look-out for interesting weather. Being out in a gamefishing boat way out at sea I get to see some pretty spectaculour sights.Warning signs - Inflow and rotation

The South Pacific Convergance Zone (SPCZ) sometimes sinks down over Fiji in the summer months (Jan - Apr) leading to hot, humid unstable air and sometimes superb thunderstorms. When the wind blows from the North and this unstable air hits the Kadavu Island peaks, the lee side of the island is the place to be to see wall coulds, scud clouds and sometimes the occasional water spout.

Time to bug out...
