The cabin of a small yacht is truly a wonderful thing; not only will it shelter you from a tempest, but from the other troubles in life, it is a safe retreat.

We left Minerva Reef yesterday morning about 9 am and have had a pretty nice
day at sea. When the winds clocked and dropped a bit, we had to roll the
headsail and turn on the engine as the seas were too rolly to keep the sail
filled. We've been motoring since about midnight. We're hoping the wind
comes up a bit and we can sail today. With any luck, we'll be in Savusavu

[status] Anchored at Kia, outermost island in the Great Sea Reef. It's still a bit windy to be away from the protection of Vanua Levu, but prediction is for slightly calmer weather for a couple days so we figured it was now or never. The bottom is not ideal, sand and rock, but the scenery is gorgeous and the village of Daku extremely friendly.
