Run: 57.8nm (104.6km)

Anchored off of Naisonisoni pass on the island of Vanua Levu. Long and exciting day crossing from Nananu-i-Cake on Viti Levu. We caught a skipjack (rejected), a jack mackeral (rejected), and a 1.1 meter Walu (dinner), plus several good bites that mangled our lure. Even with 15 - 20 knots of wind it was not a good day for sailing for us (bad angle), plus we had lumpy seas. There were ferries crossing in front us, plus a ghost ship (just kidding) sailing past us with no one in sight and no one answering the radio. Gotta be on your toes out here!
