They had a great sail just off the coast yesterday with 10-15easterlies. Now at likuri harbour on the way to Lautoka for some work on Grahame's back problem. He had a fall.
At anchor by the island outside of Suva, Panga I think , and will head down the coast today.
3nm from Kadavu and this was yesterday as I forgot to put it in. They are there now but Grahames signal was light so i did not get where they were anchored. They did not tow a line and hope that fresh fish will come from Craig!
About 5 m from Matuku and looking forward to the rain in the weekend to fill the water tanks.
