The sea lay calm as we departed Auki Wharf, heading northward toward the eastern shores of Malaita. It was around 10:35 a.m. when we set off, the October sun beating down on our backs as we bid farewell to Auki.

With practiced efficiency, we quickly swapped it out, ensuring the outboard motor continued its steady hum, propelling us forward. Ahead, an island emerged, marking our entry into the Basakana Passage. We navigated past Maluu, excitement bubbling within us as we neared the entrance to the breathtaking Lau Lagoon.
