Believe it or not, we are still perfectly on
schedule. We reached the islands and reefs of the Fijian Lau Group
precisely at daybreak, had no trouble navigating through them, and are
now having a beautiful sail through the Coral Sea on our way to one of the Fiji
ports of entry, Lautoka on Viti Levu Island.
The sea is flat because the swell is now blocked by
the Lau Group of islands and reefs that runs north to south between Tonga and
Fiji. We have just enough wind pushing us to keep us going
at just under 6 knots and there is not a single cloud in the
sky. Marvelous! We wish all of our ocean passages could be this
smooth.
Now if we could just catch one of those triple
black-flip, double twisting Pacific mahi-mahi fish...
