[status] Sailing thru Lau Group, south of Vanua Balavu, had about 80 dolphins, then a nice fish that threw the hook about 10m from the boat.
Desperate for fresh fish - got 2 handlines out now. Doing 6 to 7kn with spinnaker makes it a bit hard to stop to get the fish in. Tried to keep the last one skipping across the surface to the boat. Might try take spinnaker down quickly to stop for the next one.
Need this wind and boat speed to make it into Savusavu in time to clear customs, Immigration, health, etc on Monday.. otherwise it's possibly another night at sea. 115 nm to go.. beautiful sailing weather.
