Fiji looking very dry and arid which is completely different to that to which we have become accustomed..friendly folks yelling "bula" hello from their fishing boats as they go past.
Lovely restful night inside the reef in a very quiet anchorage. Music by Juergen, five star fresh Dorado by Grum (it as massive) dancing by Benj and all zzzzzz by 21.00.
Great sail over with constant 15 20 knots apart from one day motor sail.
When leaving the anchorage this morning the starter motor decided to play up...but all sorted in a flash and off we go. Quite a crew we have on here now, even have Grum changing sails on his own at night , not bad for a landlubber,
We think Small Nest might be here, it would be lovely for Benj....we shall see. fingers crossed,
Lautoka has a lot to live up to after Tonga,...
Our next journey will be by air, How weird is that? Benj says if we get a shift on we can sail straight to Brizzy. and still be on time for the for the wedding....., that's my boy!
You can just imagine us stressing all the way to Briz, then arriving at the cathedral door in our boat gear, late for the ceremony and my God daughter a married woman! not much threatens my friendship with U but I think that would mark the demise...
