After a lovely time in Fiji and many anchorages, we have now sailed to the Western part of Fiji.
In the South of Viti Levu, we travelled from the capital Suva to the island of Beqa and West. On our trip from Beqa to Cuvu harbour we caught and landed our largest fish so far!
A beautiful Mahi Mahi (Dorado, Dolphin fish):

                A happy fisherman and a very happy cook. “This one will sort us out for a while, captain!”
 
We arrived in the popular anchorage and resort of Musket Cove on Malololeilei Island, catching up with sailing friends and making new ones.
