After a funny sort of day we arrived yesterday at Savusavu 16deg46.5S, 179deg19.8E...tied up on a mooring at 1700, 8 days and 30 minutes since we left Opua.
Daily mileages were
150, 130, 167, 165, 171, 164, 163, 170
Wind was SSE for 2 days when we rain with main only, then SE as a huge high
stalled over the Tasman sea. wind was mostly F6/7 and we made good boatspeed but
the westerly going south Fiji current really affected our speed over ground...we
followed the rhumb line and did more than 1200 miles through the water with
distance over ground 1147.
Arrived too late to clear customs and immigration
We're pooped...be nice to sleep in a bed that doesn't roll !!
