At Vuda for a quick haul. Now to wait for my weather window before departing. Hoping to make Minerva on the way south.

In Muscat Cove, now to see what all the hoopla is about.

Will stay in Saweni Bay for a couple days, then probably move on to Vuda Pt.

Overnight stop on my way to Vuda Pt.

Next stop on my way to Vuda. A pleasant surprise x 2; Jean-Marie & Fluenta are coming to the same anchorage. I haven't seen Jax & Walter in a couple years and Max, Liz, & kids since NZ.

Making my way to Vuda. Caught my first fish in Fiji today, a 1 meter Walu. Not to be confused with Waho, they are not the same but are first cousins.

In Qamea for a couple days, then back to Savusavu.

In Viani Bay for a few days.

Stopped at Custeau on the way to Viani Bay

In Namena for a few dives.

Still in Savusavu. Waiting on the postman or postwoman for boat's registration and renewed passport. Should be next or the following week.

ETA after sunset. Wind still light and from east. All's well.

ETA Tongatapu Sunday afternoon. All's well.

First time in a long time sailing with asym. I'll see how this will last. All's well.

I'm leaving Minerva today (Friday) and should be underway by 1030. Destination is Tongatapu with an ETA Sunday afternoon. Expecting SE winds; highest in the 15 knot range, lowest in the 6 knot range.

Light winds, I'll see how long I can hold out before turning on engine because it's nice not to hear the noise. Put out fishing lines this morning. All's well.
