[s] well the front arrived in the early hours of the morning - 38kts with torrential rain for about an hour. Made for some excitement with the dog watch. Morning came and we have 30kts on the beam with building seas- pretty boisterous but we are making good progress now in bright sunshine. Forecast is to ease somewhat overnight so we cant complain about that.
Norfolk Island due south of us - but our course is SE from here for a few days - so wont be stopping there!
All well on board

[status]after pushing ourselves to arrive in SavuSavu in time to get cleared before the found on arrival that it was actually a public holiday and got charged $580 Fijian to clear which was really disappointing but not much we could do about it.
The night before as predicted the wind died off before we cleared Taveuni so we motored the last 50nm but that was better than motoring 150nm which is what it would have been if we hadn?t kept the pace up.
