20 10.05S 179 53.55E

Hello All,
We finally got a little break from strong winds and high seas. We have been making a lot of easting on the passage to try to make Minerva Reef. After I realized that wasn't what I wanted to do because of the weather we turned towards Fiji. The wind started turning to the north so we were hard on the weather and it was not fun at all. The port rail was always in the water and the deck looked like a submarine from all of the water on deck so I found a more western approach to the Koro sea and we are now almost running with the waves at our stern. We should see the most southern Fiji Islands by this after noon then we will be just a day out of Savu Savu. We are all pretty tired of the passage and looking forward to being done.
Getting back to paradise hasn't been easy but it will make it be all the sweeter.
I will let you know how it goes through the Koro Sea tomorrow.

PEACE
