Right, its done. I’m going Farquahar in December. This sliver of coral and sand, dotted in the great expanse of the Indian Ocean is one of the most sought after fishing destinations in the world.
It lies about 1200 km off the East Coast of Africa, about 700km South of where I am sitting and writing this. It's 4000km NE of Cape Town... It has a tiny settlement - no more than a hundred people who are involved in a fishing operation.
On the jealous factor its waaaaaay up there. If you’re a fly fisherman and someone says they’re going to Farquahar, its instant upwelling of green that makes you detest the the person. You find excuses why they are below average fisherman and mumble incoherent comments when they address you directly.
At last, I become one the privledged few to walk the desolate corners of this unspoilt atoll...
I can't wait...
