Picture is attached to this
version.
On Sunday (6/29), the wind came around to the
south, so we left the southern facing bay on the island of Waya with
Branec, and made our way back to Saweni Bay on Viti Levu Island where we
knew the anchorage would be protected from the southern wind. Lady
Kay opted to venture further north in search of an uninhabited bay on Waya
Island where they could enjoy the scenery in solitude (they
weren't all that interested in going back to the scene of their close encounter
with a reef in Saweni Bay anyway).
Once in Saweni Bay, we spent a quiet evening
celebrating our twelfth wedding anniversary. Very quiet indeed.
The night before wasn't quiet in the least because Michael and Jackie from Lady
Kay and Sabine and Roger from Branec spent the evening on board Harmonie
for dinner. We did eat dinner, in between drinking the various
wines everyone brought. Roger, who was a serious solo ocean
racing sailor before taking on crew and joining the World ARC rally with
his racing trimaran, doesn't drink, and was probably thankful for that the next
day. We told him he was the first Frenchman we had ever met that did not
drink wine. We're not sure if he took this to be a compliment or
not. At any rate, we had a nice anniversary floating in the calm waters of
Saweni Bay.
The attached picture was taken just after the
anchor came up (with Don's help) and right before leaving Saweni Bay the
next day. The big island of Viti Levu is in the background.
