Fri 20 Jul 2018 19:28

We are leaving Namuka-i-lau this morning sailing north 40nm to Lakeba to stay overnight.

Tomorrow we’ll go north another 60 nm to Vanua Balavu where we will be staying for at least the next week. Might be able to get some internet access there?

Will update the blog via sat phone once we arrive safely on Sunday / Monday.
