Go Travel The Pacific Magazine Nov 2014 Edición anterior

The Pacific and marine activities go hand in hand. Nigel
Skeggs gives us a great insight into the tropical cruising
and sailing activities that abound around the tropics.
There have been many great sailors and divers who have
written about their times in the wonderful blue waters
and this story really captures the feel of The Pacific.
The best assignment I have ever undertaken was my
recent Solomon Islands visit. Not only was it the people,
the climate, the culture the food and the island way of life
but the World War II wrecks and memorabilia that really
‘spun my wheels’. I have attempted to relay what it was
like then and what is there now.
The Pacific was a wild and cruel place to conduct a war
and The Solomon’s is a grim reminder of what it was
really like. This is a must do on any WWII buffs bucket
list.
Fishing the blue water of The Pacific is also another
pastime that is well worth the effort. The abundant fish in
the warm tropical waters are not only fun to catch but are
also great on the plate.
While in The Solomon’s I was amazed at the many other
activities and adventures available. I will have a series of
3 stories. Gizo area, Munda area and Honiara the Capital
City. This edition will focus on The Gizo area in The
Western Province.
The regional stories are all exciting and informative
especially Jackie Gay’s Cook Island experience. Its a
real gem.
