Sugar City

Hello All,
We made it to Latoka without much problem. We had light winds so we motored the whole way. We had to travel 26 miles to get here so it wasn't far. When we arrived there was a few boats in the anchorage but we managed to anchor close to the wharf. I don't have a big dingy so the closer to land the better. Alex and I went to town and checked out all that was going on, not much I will add. This is the second biggest city in Fiji mostly surviving on sugar cane exports. They have a massive amount of sugar that leaves this port and supplies most of the South Pacific.
After exploring town we came back to the boat and had a really nice steak dinner with a salad I bought in town. It has been a while since we had that kinda meal.
We will leave for Vuda Point Marina in the morning to get the boat parked for a bit to look for crew.
That's all for now.

PEACE
