[status] As of 2015-06-06 13:00 UTC: Arrived safely in Savusavu today just after noon and are now tied to a Waitui mooring. Waitui is definitely open for business and Jolene, the manager was super efficient in getting the officials organized for our check in. The mooring has a new chain (just installed over the weekend) and was checked by a diver. Downtown Savusavu is bustling as always and has made a great deal of progress in recovery from cyclone Winston. The trip from NZ went very smoothly (other than a problem with a batten luff box on the main). We used the engine for less than 30 hours in total and had some terrific periods of sailing- including one of our fastest days ever. We really appreciated the efforts of David, Patricia, and Mike at Gulf Harbour Radio for the YIT site. And the qualify of the weather information was outstanding - it made trip planning so much more effective.
