Weather: Clear, sunny and still. 26deg @ 0800. Bar 1010 We are relaxing in Saweni after a 10 day passage from Majuro to Rotuma, with consistent breeze and flat seas all the way. 5 days in Rotuma, and another 300nm to Fiji on the wind. Couple of days in the Yasawas then on to Denerau to complete Customs clearance and clean ourselves up ??? All well and looking forward to more Fijian adventures this winter.

Sounds like perfect conditions for sailing Sarah and Giles, you're doing really well. Been perfect here in Glenorchy as well today. 27 deg, sunny with light nor easterlies, but our house speed isn't as good as yours.
