Heading north to BOI to join the throngs for New Years .

There is a constant stream of gin Palaces passing us. Life’s good with the wind at your back

All good on board. Woke this morning to no wind. Motors are on and we heading directly home.helped again by a generous current heading in our direction. Fruit salad breakfast still no fish. Love to all

All good on board. Ideal sailing last night, on course reaching, 15 knots of wind 8 to 9 knots speed...... helped by a generous current heading in our direction. Love to all

All good on board. Struggling more than we expected to keep on course. Wind looks to drop tomorrow. Love to all

All good on board. First 12 hours were the worst we have had. Awful swell. The wind has gone nicely to the EES and is around 18 knots which suits us close enough. At last we have a good run with the weather and we are honking along in a warm wind, now this is what it?s about...... well part of it? Love to all

Crew on board, abandoned the original departure date now looking to leave Monday. Weather window looks promising. Head back to Denarau Sunday pm to get ready to check out. Wind is relentless here, glad we are here and not underway.

Love to all.

Great day out at the reef yesterday for what’s likely to be our last snorkel. Heading in to Denarau today to get the new crew.

All good, anchored off Robinson Crusoe and off to see the fire dancing tonight, supposed to be amazing.

Well John is back from the UK and turning our attention to the trip home to NZ. Small hiccup with the crew but we have found a replacement who is excited to be on board. Looking to head way first week in November. So few days to relax before then. Just missed the best weather window I have seen in Years.

Love to all

Tucked in at Blue Lagoon Resort ( Thanks for the tip Rich) it is such a great hideaway. We are on our own and we can see at least 13 boats in at Nanuya 2 miles away. Had good snorkel with the biggest school of fish Maria has ever swam in....... amazing. Walked to the top of the hill for some great views.

Love to all

The Jarvis’s are way beyond relaxed, reading googling swimming....did a few jobs today,changed fan belts and checked motors. AND a little bit of work.

Love to all from the northern Yaswas

Gary has now left and we have a month to get to Musket Cove. Decided we will hang out in the blue lagoon area for a few days. Catching up on some washing and off to walk around Nanoya this afternoon.

Crossed over To Yasawas yesterday, what an amazing day of sailing, superb wind. Managed 8knots for most of the day. Staying in an amazing bay tonight but aren’t they all......

Treated to a pod of dolphins this afternoon

Traded some fish from locals in a long boat today.... life can be so simple when it wants to be.

Love to all

Spent last night at Paradise cove resort, what an amazing level of service and attention. We felt so welcome, and were looked after supremely.. another fish caught so sorted for dinner for a while.

The sailors have left the allure of Savusavu, but omg it hard, we really fell in love with this cool little town. Super friendly and easy to get things done. Fab trip over to Lambasa for my birthday and we are. Now in Fawn Harbour heading east for Viani bay tomorrow.

Love to all.

Back into relative civilisation at Savu Savu. Arrived today and treated ourselves to a marina berth. Off to explore the town tomorrow with talk of scooters to the other side of the island.

Andy of no wind where we raised the iron spinnaker and made lots of easting towards Savu Savu. Got the Kayak out and explored the bay then finished planting the on board garden. Apparently we are going to Greece for dinner tonight due mostly to the lack of fishing action. A stifling 32 degrees today......

Great day resting and then doing jobs, managed to sand and re oil the toe rails. Another great dinner another great sunset

Spent the night behind mangroves in Toba Naloma. Super quiet night not a sole around us for miles. Great dinner, cards and a big sleep. Heading further east today.

Maria has now arrived so the winter cruise can begin in earnest. We are all fuelled up and spent the morning in the markets in Nadi getting fresh produce and plants for our on board garden. Setting of for Savu Savu tomorrow. Pleasant night ahead in Saweni bay north of Denarau

Safely in at Denarau. Off to get cruising permit, do the laundry, SIM card.....all those usual jobs. Despite those 2 days of northerly that held us back, we were in in 7 and a half days, so pretty happy with the passage over all. SO nice to be still and get a full sleep. All ready I seems a long time ago. We were rewarded with a fish as well .Thanks Alex for keeping watch.

Time to prepare the boat for the arrival of the admiral, can’t wait.

All good on board. The wind has gone nicely to the SW and is around 15 knots which suits us just fine. At last we have a good run with the weather and we are honking along in a warm Trade wind, now this is what it?s about...... well part of it? Love to all

All good on board. The wind has gone nicely to the east but halved to about 8 knots more frustrations but on the bright it is flat and fine and 27 degrees. Looks like it will be a Thursday landfall for us making it an 8 day passage. Not a record but happy enough. Looking forward to getting our girl cleaned up and looking good again. Started fishing today so high hopes there too.

Love to all

All good on board. The wind is quite North now making progress to Fiji difficult. We expect another day of northerly then back to East.Making great speed though. Looks like it will be a Thursday landfall at this stage.

great day, all in good spirits and why not? Steady wind from the east and travelling nicely at around 8 knots, yeeehaa. Much warmer at around 19 degrees back into the shorts, and soon just a tee shirt. Passed within 200m of a yacht and had a nice conversation over VHF. Love to all

2 days of motor to keep us on track, Easterlies have finally kicked in. All well on board. All gear good. Great trip so far, looking forward to getting a little warmer.

Love to all

After what seems a lifetime of work we are set to clock out of Whangarei on Wednesday with a direct route to Fiji. Our legendary crew Gary is back with a new South Island crew member Chris joining us for the great adventure. Just starting to get excited about getting away again. We are so blessed to be able to do this again.
