Saing west and just 20nm east of the first reefs of
Fiji . Wind has been firmly astern most of the way giving us unruly and
shortseas which cause us to roll and vere ..Now off the lau Islands and will
pass between Vanuabalavu and Tuvuca to enter the more sheltered
waters to the west . Not an easy place this with boats running onto the
reefs evry year . Puts alot of trust on the navigator who is tired and the
hydrograhers . The another 12 nm to run to Savu Savu for customs and breakfast
tomorrow
