[status] Another day of perfect conditions but without rain squalls:) Most of the day we had full jib poled out with 2nd reef mainsail. We could easily have had full mai but the boat was well balanced and fast enough like this, with little stress on the gear.
Later in the day the wind had just a touch more south in it and we too the pole down, changing to the current situation of 2 sail reaching in 15 knots. Easy miles and very comfortable on the Jolifou.

[status] Anchored in large Bua Bay, expecting a windy night so we're glad we're in shallow water on a mud bottom. We plan to start heading around the north coast of Vanua Levu tomorrow morning.
