The last leg- Uto Ni Yalo

Dearest Athaliah,

This is my final journal for the Uto Ni Yalo. After Kubulau Bua, we sailed to Makogai. A beautiful island with crystal clear blue waters. The island is undoubtedly amazing but because of it history "Fiji's Leprosy Hospital" only few people live there. As soon as we berthed, all the crew members went either snorkeling, paddle boarding or swimming. I tried a bit of all. While snorkeling, I saw huge giant clams on the seabed. It was the one of the most amazing things I got to witness in this voyage.

The next day we left for Leleuvia Island Resort to give the beautiful Vaka the rest she deserves before having to sailing to Lau the following week. Throughout the entire journey, Dwain reminded the crew, "The VAKA chooses you and it is predestined". I truly believe that and I am grateful for this experience. My dearest Athaliah, I am dedicating this piece to you because I believe in you. I believe you will grow up and be the change this world needs.



I love you Athaliah
Uncle Abel
