Time for another crew member!

Most of you in the past years who have been on the Nai'a have had the honor of being in the presence of this
b o m b a s t i c f a n t a s t i c lady.

Big smile, loud musical laugh, and quite the heavy hand while pouring the wine 😜

If you are lucky enough, she will get you to dance with her; whether at the Kava Party or while she is setting up the salon.

That is our dear Ana. 💃

REEF Reef Environmental Education Foundation came again to FIji!

And the guests had a parting gift for the crew on goodbye day,
a lovely song, the fish song!

The crew are not used to being on the other side of songs, so that was a lot of fun!

Vinaka guys and ladies!

Highway To Fish Heaven

“That reef was absolutely fantastic!” - Anne

“You can just keep me here for the whole trip and I will be happy.” - Sheena

“It is quite incredible that so many animals live in such a small space and we can see them all in action. You don't get that on land.” - Betty

“You just kept on with the highway. If the highway stops we could stay all day down there. When it doesn't, you just enjoy it.” - Betty

“That was like a lovely Sunday stroll in a garden. A flower garden.” Right after coming out of the Rainbow wall on the Sea Mounts, Julie had the most content face on her.

Thank you Joe, LJ, and Laura for these photos!

Stealing Hearts 🫶

“There was a blue dragon conference down there.” - Linda

Anthias are stealing hearts.

Blennies are stealing hearts.

Shrimps are stealing hearts.

Mobulas are stealing hearts.

“I looked in so many crevaces, with so many fish asses.” - Yes, Adrian is a poet in the making.

“I said already you guys were keeping the best for last!” - Eric A (Cat’s Meow) We dove the meow!

VInaka to Don, Ken and Linda for all these photos!

Don found a harlequin shrimp 🙈🙈🙈

Anybody who has been on Nai' a knows that the crew holds a first tied place, if not higher at times, to the dive sites Fiji has to offer.

With these posts we want to bring notice to the crew on Nai' a.

Some of the crew are already very well known and occupy a special place in some hearts all around the world.

Please comment with any fun stories or memories you have of this particular crew member; I am sure they will enjoy reading them.

We will kick off this with one of our crew members that stays a bit hidden.
He is not loud in his Bulas yet he has an almost permanent smile on his lovely face.

Even in stressful situations [and he has to deal with so many of them] he does bring you hope that he will find the solution to set problems.

Big Bula to Lai, our Chief Engineer.

He has been aboard Nai’ a for 11 years, and as stated by Rob Barrel: “Lai, since I hired you, the boat has never run smoother.”

Vinaka vakalevu!

Thanks Sue for this portrait!

Vinaka vakalevu!
