Sydney > Nadi FJ914

early morning departure from Sydney big storm cloud just off the coast, we got a lightning storm on our way to the airport when it is still dark, and now getto see the massive cloud that caused it all early morning, Australia East Coast like a big Iceberg Plane is not getting too close to it and banking around it turning lot of electricity in there and on the other sidea small hour into the flight, this reef pops up, now I seen one before out here a few months back on a flight to Los Angeles , the one on that flight was Middleton Reef so this must Elizabeth Reef
Middleton Reef, just 45 km north of a similar reef called Elizabeth reef, both sitting about 555Km of the east coast, and in the old days caused quite a headache for a lot of sailing boats, quite a lot of shipwrecks, the list is lon looks like a left and right there do we know if anyone ever surfed out here ? an another hour or so  we are getting closer to Fiji and there we have it, the mamanuca Islands of Fiji and Namotu and Tavarua looking so super glassy this day, it’s lunchtime and usually come lunchtime the tradies already start blowing, but not today looks super calm maybe 3-4 foot swell can’t wait to get down there and there is that resort again, right under the flight path  but now it is actually open and running ( opened last month )  I love how it is pretty close to Cloudbreak and I will actually be staying there at some stage during this trip looking forward to it landing and then 3 hour taxi ride to Suva but stopping for lunch at Tomlu’s ofcourse arrived just in time for dusksatellite pic of the east coastand on the route to Nadi departure from Ssydney And flight track from flightaware
