Morning has broken...5:30 Friday oct 2. We are inside the eastern island group of Fiji cruis g along at 7 kts in 25 kts of breeze from our starboard quarter. Jib is reefed slightly for the comfort of those sleeping below. Rain ahead and to leeward and behind and to leeward...works for me! We made a route change a couple of days ago that had us arriving into Fiji waters from the south, instead of the original plan of entering from the north. This change added some extra time to our passage, but, had us sailing a much more comfortable sailing angle. We hope to arrive Savusavu before the sun sets today. Three books finished yesterday. Homeland and game of thrones bingeing are keeping the crew entertained. Fishing hasn't been fruitful but today is another day.[END]
The cabin of a small yacht is truly a wonderful thing; not only will it shelter you from a tempest, but from the other troubles in life, it is a safe retreat.
