We are now in the Eastern hemisphere (the same half of the world as Australia for the first time!!).
 
We will also put our watches back an hour so we are now 2 hours ahead of Australia.
 
Good conditions for sailing at last - 15 knots from the ENE so little motoring and actually using the sails!! We even had all the sails up this morning!
 
Main island of Fiji is now in sight, we should be in Lautoka early tomorrow morning.
 
We have even tried navigating the old fashioned way.  Step 1, start with someone old-fashioned!
 
 
Before we left Tonga, I had to change a light bulb.
 
And finally, after 3 days the fish decided to bite.
