[position] 17 33.800S 177 29.215E
[weather] SSW 16 knots, 10011 baro.
[anchorage] Anchored in Vitogo Bay, just north of Lautoka, Viti Levu, Fiji.
[status] We left at 7.15am and motored/motorsailed 2/3rds of the way down the western side of Fiji?s main island. The day started with 2 knots, and ended with 20+. As we rounded the headland towards Lautoka, we could see the wind was going straight thru the channel between Lautoka and the island just off shore. So, we backtracked to the bay just north and have anchored up. We still have 18knots, but the seastate is a lot calmer and doesn?t have all the whitecaps that Lautoka did. We arrived about 4.20pm, so after anchoring up, tidying up, and a nice cold shower to cool off, it?s time for a cold brew in the cockpit!
