Arrived In Fiji..

The weather finally came right for us to get away on Friday 13 May. We had a good couple of days averaging over 200 miles a 24 hour day..the weather was cold, but fine. During the third and fouth days we had some stronger breezes and we really flying  but with squals and rain, made it prtetty interesting...then the worst happened..the wind turned to the NW and blew25/30 knots..and we just had to motor slowly into head seas..slow and rough..finally closing the passgae in the reef at midnight Thursday night...and clearing Customs at Lautoka Friday morning..

Glad that's all over!
