[status] Weligalala was as expected - lumpy except 3 hours either side of low water - so we had a solid 6 hours sleep. Sailed down to Vanua Balavu this morning in 20-25kts ESE - so hard on the wind. Relatively vigorous sailing that prompted one or two comments from the crew - like "it's not supposed to be like this in the tropics" countered by "it is if you are going upwind". Now anchored in beautiful Balavu Bay, its just like being in Fjiordland except a lot warmer - but currently just as wet.

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