  • In this vlog Im in the mainland and going back to moturiki. It's my two uncles birthday so Josese called me in the morning to pick up a birthday cake from his sister who lives in suva on my way back to the island so we can celebrate my two uncles birthday later that day.
    Little did I know that taking a birthday cake all the way to the village will come with its struggles. Due to bad weather on that day Jekobe told us to go to waidalice river so he can pick us up from there as it is easier.
    When we got on the boat then problems started to happen. The engine couldn't start after a few tries we could finally head on to moturiki. Later on the journey his engine couldn't start again and we had to call for a pick up. The pick up came and on the way to the village, the pick ups boat engine got into problems, so it ended up with Suli dragging the boats all the way to Navuti Village.
    This is one of the way Moturiki Islanders go and get birthday cakes when they live on a remote island if they can't bake it themselves. They go to Levuka if its not Levuka then the mainland.
    YN Kava
    Nothing beats sitting around the Tanoa with your Family and Friends after a hard day’s work and just sharing stories and reminiscing about our Island Life. No matter which Pacific Island you are from, Kava is something that we all share uniquely and that beautiful laughter when we share our island Jokes.
    The Village Boys and Men of Moturiki Island Plant, Harvest, Process, Dry, Hand Pound and Package The Yavusa Navuti Kava (YN Kava) right here at our Home in Navuti Village.
    So for the best Kava and the best Laughs and your way of helping the Village Men and Boys of Moturiki.
    Place your order with us.

    Engines malfunctioning in the midddle of the crossing can be hazardous. Older folk in the village may still recall that time (around 35 years ago) when a boat (just a little larger than yours) lost power after departing Levuka, and quickly swept out into the vast Pacific Ocean. All aboard were presumed lost at sea. Fortunately many months later the boat miraculously ended up in the Solomon Islands. Everyone had survived. The boat was called "Our Lady Of Fatima" and belonged to Sing Mar, who owned a bakery in Levuka.

      My brother I suggest you guys use a cooler,put some ice in the cooler and place a tray or something before putting the cake inside the cooler.putting the cake in the cooler preserves it from melting.my mum always does that when ever there's some ones birthday at our village.we travel like you guys do.but we travel for 6hours from town to the village.so thats how we do it in my village in PNG🇵🇬🇵🇬

    The happiest of birthday to your uncles. God bless them for many more. I enjoy each & every one of your videos. This one was especially awesome because of all the mishaps you guys & that cake went through. But you all made it safely with the cake. My family drinks kava here but we only have access to the tongan kava. I'm interested in getting the fijian kava from my fijian people. How can I get the kava from your village? I want to support my people. Love you Uraia & all you share.
