[w]100% low grey cloud cover with periods of rain. Wind less than 5kts from NW. Calm sea, 0,5m swell. Baron 1011, steady.
[s]A really good passage so far - sunshine and a 15 knot wind for a comfortable close reach yesterday but we had a few rain squalls at 21.00 as the wind went from NE to NNW. Motoring since midnight.

ETA Fulaga is around 09.00 so hoping for a gap in the rain to go in. At least we have last year's tracks to follow but we'd prefer some decent visibility for the narrow and shallow bits![END]

[status] Arrived at Matuku yesterday morning. It's a spectacular anchorage, reminiscent of The Marquesas. We caught 2 skipjack tuna en route and had a big sushi feast with our friends last night.

[w]overscaste, almost no wind, light drizzle at times. Looks like a day of slow and careful motoring,trusting Curly's WPS.
[s]At anchor in Makogai, where we would love to stay for a few days...but weather and boat issues dictate otherwise. So we will continue today, past Naingani, and on to an anchorage on Viti Levu NE coast.[END]

[status] Anchored at Baie du Nord, Mare Island, in 17 metres of the most amazingly deep blue coloured water. I guess we are at the top of the bottom of the Loyalty Islands. Pleasant sail across from Yate yesterday ahead of the trough that is now raining on us. Another 5 knots of wind and it could have been close to perfect. Might be a bit of a schoolwork and maintenance day if the rain keeps up.
