Well, the passage has come to an end. We had two nice days, the rest was wet, wild and windy. But we are now safely on a mooring buoy in Savusavu and the sun shines and the salt caked oil skins have been washed. A number of officials have been onboard and we are now legal and allowed to go ashore. We are tired but happy. We did manage to catch a small tuna just before dark last night.
We would have arrived at around midnight, but the weather was not good, it rained and it was very dark so we laid-a-hull and waited until daylight.
We now have a week here before flying to UK for Kirsten and Mark's wedding and will leave Sea Topaz here for the month that we are away.
