Settled in on a mooring at SavuSavu. Lots of yachts get stuck here and I can see why. Its all here for boats. Cheap eating out, moorings, laundry, shops right on shore, and a fabulous social life. We have met about a dozen other cruisers already in two days, watched the rugby, had a fabulous music session with a violinist, and eaten out almost every meal.
This is our last supply stop in Fiji. From here we head east to Kioa for their annual arrival celebrations (more in the blog). Then we sail 300 miles north to Rotuma, Fiji's northernmost island. We will clear customs there and sail 250 miles to Tuvalu. From there we'll travel 900 miles to the Marshall Islands, 7 degrees north of the equator, where will stay for the hurricane season. There is a strong yachting community there as well as good facilities ashore. We plan to return to Fiji in 2016 and continue exploring.
I am working on catching up blog posts now we are in one place for a while.
