As I wrote a friend just before, there is no need to sail always 9, 10, 11, and in peaks 12 KN.

Since yesterday wind is down thus speed is down. However, I honestly miss my Big Blue. It would be the ideal sail today.

What’s not available is not available. “Sha nai naa” it’s what the people in Osaka would say. I like this term which I learned during my research days at Osaka University’s ILE.

Since we reached the first island of Fiji last night, we always see at least one island. Most of them appear not to be inhabited. What we saw is that these islands are densely for forested. Tonight, we will pass at the southern corner of Taveuni Island and I expect that there is village or town in the vicinity of the Cape South. We’ll see.

Last night we sailed through the southern part of the Lau groupe of island. The desire to go closer or even go inside was indeed strong. But, there’s always a but, we first have to clear into Fiji.

This we will do at Nawi Marina, Savusavu, Vanua Levu Island. Current ETA at the marina is tomorrow around noon.
