Minerva Reef to Savusavu - 444nm. Time at Sea - 3 days 2.5 hrs. Average speed - 6kts

Total Fuel consumed - 380 lts / 100 gal.
Average fuel consumption - 3.4 lts/ hr 0.9 gal/hr.
Sealife Sightings
Dolphins - 0 (folks this is both amazing, and absolutely disheartening to think after beiing at sea for over 9 days not to see one dolphin.)
Flying Fish - only a few - just as disheartening.
These two statistics are examples of how man is destroying animal life at an alarming rate. And this is NOT fake news.
This is the first day since arriving that the sun has been out. It's wonderful. With that I'll get to working on my suntan.
