Stayed the night off Mana and had a smaller surf at our spot 'threesomes' again with no-one around except us three. Tried to troll the line near the reef-break but nothing happening there. Motored

A day of exploring today. Seek and Ye shall find and so we sailed off with the south-east trades at our backs and headed for Mana Island as a google search had indicated surf potential. A few reef

Boring - another beautiful day at Namotu Island snorkelling the reefs in the morning and surfing the building swell at 4 ft with the occasional 6 footer cleaning up the line-up. Got to use the

Surfed Wilkes Passage the last 2 days glassy and clean with sometimes just us out. We carefully place the dinghy anchor in a sand crevice so we can both retrieve it and not damage the stunning coral

Lovely sunny day in Suva. Ready for customs clearance at 8am, as advised, but Quarantine came at 10.30am, and other 3 departments at 2.30pm - welcome to Fiji time! Never mind, as plenty of time to

Update revised, incorrect co-ordinates posted. Wild ride yesterday, with winds twice the forecast and large seas to match. Driving rain all day, making cockpit helming a tricky exercise. Tried to

Good night's sleep at South Minerva, then off early with brisk trade winds and following seas. Charging on some waves at 10 knots - great fun as receded main, and partially furled genoa for

Never make predictions on arrival time! Huey doing his best to slow us down with a miserable mileage as we zig-zag into the wind. Bit lighter today and even sun to work on the tan. Flying fish

Lovely sunny day in the trade wind belt of 25 degrees South,. Breeze is still elusive at 6 knots, but at least from the East, finally. Empty ocean with long lazy 3 metre sw swell. Very relaxed now

Sighted two whales marching up with us, about 300 metres away. Beating into 20kn Northerly, waiting for the Tradewinds at 25 degrees to kick in and take us to Minerva Friday morning. All in good
