[status] 20180707 0400 UTC. 2 POB, Douglas & Morgan, all is well. Next destination Savusavu Fiji. After light winds last night, we've been sailing in strong winds all day, 25-30 kts. SE, combined seas 2-3 meters.With just a double reefed genoa, we have no problem approaching our hull speed, 7.8 kts. Because there have been several light squalls with winds above 30 kts, we plan to downshift to our staysail by sundown. We expect to arrive in SavuSavu either late Monday or early Tuesday. As we enter Fijian waters, we are going take the channel east of Totoya Island to preserve our easting.
