[status] After a long time in the Musket cove area enjoying surfing, kiting, friends and regatta week we decided we would like to see another side of Fiji before we leave. We took a likely weather window to go around the south coast of Viti Levu and head for the southern Lau.
With flat calm to be followed by Southerly wind we hoped to get as far as Fulanga. As it turned out the wind went southeast and stronger earlier than expected and we changed plans and pulled into Matuku.
