For whatever we lose (like a you or a me), it's always ourselves we find in the sea.

[status]We arrived safely in this Fijian paradise just in time to clear in with Customs yesterday afternoon - phew! After a 6 day 'roller coaster lumpy bumpy ride' we were happy to step off onto terra firma for a cold beer or 2 - the champagne had already been quaffed when we first sighted land. And for Lionel not being thrown around means he is now much more comfortable with his rib. Big BIG thanks to Anthony and Brian for their fabulous company and help.

[status] We have travelled over 1,000 nm since leaving Auckland 16 days ago.
The water colour at Minerva Reef is an amazing blue. We plan to depart for Lifuka, Ha'apai, Tonga late Sunday afternoon, light winds are forecast so we could be motoring most of the way. The 350nm passage will take about 2.5 days, arriving Lifuka Wednesday morning.[END]
