| The passage to Fiji consisted of an assortment of exciting sailing, from wave surfing at over 10kts as 4 metre swells pushed us along,to reaching in calm seas at 7kts. Slowing down, speeding up, avoiding thunder storms and sheltering in Minerva Reef for 4 days to avoid the worst of the weather. An exciting patch of weather ahead. . . Night watch Calm moonlit nights Minerva Reef. Sailing through Minerva Pass Full moon through the unusual cloud High winds kicking up the sea over Minerva Reef Reef party; 27 yachts sat out the storm A Royal Albatross joins Mawari for a while Sting ray in the crystal clear waters of Minerva reef The blue lee cloth prevents us from falling out of bed on passage! Mor amazing reef. . . More water heading our way. . . |
