Arrived at the Q-dock in Opua at 9.00 AM NZ time on Sunday morning. The last few days have been perfect sailing in moderate SW and then W winds.

It has been a good trip - 8.8 days, 1215 nm, moving average 5.7 kts, used less than 20L of fuel. Not bad for a small boat with just 2 crew!

eta noon Sunday in Opua

Had front from midnight to 6am and still have some residual leftovers but will clear this soon

good radio signal from Martin this morning

about half way

woke up to 4S and 205cc but now in a squall

not heard at GHRadio and relay from Villamee.

Currently back at Musket Cove - looking for a weather window back to NZ - ideally leaving in the next 7 - 15 days.

We are currently at Manta Ray Pass - moving up the Yasawas chain

Currently anchored at Musket Cove ready for the Regatta. It has been great to meet up with Doreen and Ian on Sea Bride

Have made it around the north and west side of Viti Levu to Vuda Point where we'll re-provision the boat before heading out to Musket Cove and the Yasawas

Have left Makogai and are now heading west on the north side of Viti Levu. Anchored last night at Naigani and plan on Verevere / Tobabasaga Bay tonight.

Arrived safely at Savusavu at daybreak this morning after a great trade wind passage from N. Minerva. Got boat cleared in by lunch time and will now have to get our land legs back!

very happy with the great sailing conditions - but will need to slow down for a monday arrival

will not get more wind until later today

will leave around 4pm for Savusavu

Will wait until tomorrow or the next day. two benefits in this - they will arrive during the business week for check in and the weather will be clearer.

leaving tomorrow ! They have cabin fever.

still in N Minerva waiting for the front to pass. they are on the bottom edge of it

a bit rolly in N Minerva at net time due high tide. They are under the front.

anchored in a good spot in N Minerva

incredible visibility snorkeling. Sight of a white tip!

a little rocky in S Minerva but a good long sleep was had

making a b line for S Minerva to get there before dark. Will stay there and move to N Minerva on Thursday and wait out a front before carrying on to Savusavu

Great signal from Martin this morning on the GHRadio net. They will be stopping at n Minerva

good direction wind for the last 24hr.

via Field Tripp relay - thanks. They hove- to last night when the worst of the front hit but making progress now.

They are off! left yesterday. Will get sw winds tomorrow
