To reach a port we must set sail. Sail, not tie at anchor. Sail, not drift.
Musket Cove Fiji
Preparing for the passage to Opua. We have just had Tewaka out of the water to repair some damage to the bottom of the rudder and to do an antifoul and put on the new propellor. The weather is looking good for leaving Fiji on Monday and Tuesday but we are not sure about the other end a week later. That's the interesting part.
Monday. 27 October.

[status]After spending a week in Noumea, eating and drinking too much and generallt being sociable it was time to head back out to the peace and tranquility of an anchorage. So here we are anchored at the far north end of the Baie de Prony. Very sheltered and peaceful, a couple of local boats to keep us company along with lots and lots of birds.
