We had a good overnight sail from Namena to the
Yasawa's. The wind picked up, but was from behind. We had to slow down so that
we would arrive at day light to negotiate the reefs. We just had a tiny bit of
sail up and were still doing 3/4 knots.
We arrived in Sawa-i-Lau for a late breakfast. A
beautiful place, all to ourselves, but unfortunately we did not go ashore as the
wind was howling where we were anchored and we decided to move on after a
restless night. We are now in Blue Lagoon, a gentle four hour sail further
south. It was still pretty windy, but is gradually slowing down. Duncan
hopes to get the windsurfer out tomorrow. There are a few more yachts here and
one or two resorts.
