[s] Delighted to sail for six hours yesterday pm before returning to motor sailing through the night. Frustrating that southerly wind and lumpy seas prevented us from achieving a more direct course to our waypoint 30s 170e; instead had to tack in stages. All well aboard.[END]

[status] No frolicking dolphins, but the skipper did notice the first whales, and tells us that "spot the whale, and they buy the ale", looks like I will be shouting first round. Overall fast passage, more wind overnight than expected. Have entered Australian waters and making the turn to head towards Bundy.

We have finally left town. We had a great time in SavuSavu but all provisioned now and ready to go. Sailed an hour south yesterday and anchored off the Cousteau Resort. Roast chicken and salad for dinner.
Heading east along the bottom of Vanua Levu. We have two overnight anchorages before we head to sea to go to Rotuma, 300 miles north of here.
