A ship in harbor is safe, but that is not what ships are built for.

June 17th, The Killing Fields, Phnom Penh, Cambodia.
Mersoleil is tucked safely into Straits Quay Marina while we visit Cambodia
and Vietnam. Well, while we visit Cambodia, anyway, but more anon on that
subject.

Now at Haafeva Island, Tonga, ready to set sail in the morning for Savusavu, Fiji, which will take us 4 days and 4 nights of sailing. Looking forward to being in Fiji again. For highlights of our trip so far, please check out our blog.
The first thing that stands out was the snorkelling in the NE part of north Minerva. Stunning! Large crayfish, I mean really huge! Wow. And just the fact that here we were again, enjoying this tranquil lake in the middle of the ocean. We are so lucky.

[status] Motoring again. A mix of sailing, motoring and motor sailing today. Really bumpy sea this morning but is smooth now.. amazing how much can change in 12hrs. Hand line and rod out the back, but no luck. Looks like Pho Soup for dinner. With this light wind, it looks like we won't make it into savusavu in time on Monday, unless we get some good wind very soon. All well on board, hoping for a drier, more comfy night tonight.
