The boys then went and dived early
this morning at high tide. They enjoyed themselves but they had to swim
quite a lot against the current. They saw one white tip and a large ray - not
bad for a morning's work!
Whilst they were out Amy went over to Miss Tippy
to return a memory stick but after a few hours she hadn't returned. Then when
the men returned the VHF went and we knew what was coming "Do you mind
if I stay on Miss Tippy for the journey to the next anchorage?" We started to
pick up the anchor at around 12:00 but the chain was caught around the coral so
Paul had to jump in the water and dive down to free us. He managed to sort it
from one dive down so we were soon off around the south coast of Vanua Levu to
Mbua Bay, around 30 miles away, where we dropped anchor at around
18:00. The sail was very pleasant and we all had a lovely day, including Amy who
spent the day allowing the girls to draw on her and do her hair.

We had yet another glorious sunset tonight,
we've had some of the best here in Fiji but unfortunately the camera wouldn't
work to take pictures!
