Another week has gone by and we are still in Savu
savu. We had an exciting sail from Oneata, with the waves and wind from behind,
so we arrived back in Savusavu quite quickly, only to find that the place was
full and there was no mooring buoy for us. We anchored for one night off the
Cousteau Resort, an hour short of the creek, so we could catch up on sleep
and motor sailed into Savusavu the next morning, anchored there for one more
night until we got a buoy. Then the fun started with sorting out the faulty
batteries they had sold us when we were here last and the 24v alternator, which
had burned out as a result. We finally got some new replacement batteries today
so they will be installed this afternoon by my expert husband (he is learning
more all the time). I, in the meantime revarnished the wood in the cockpit
as we were going to be here for a while.
We do have some fun too, meeting up with old
friends and making new ones, the restaurants are not too bad
either.
We hope to move west in the next couple of days and
make our way to the Yasawa islands.
