Arrived Naingani Island, West Viti Levu

Hello All,
After spending all night crossing the Koro Sea we were invited to Naingani Island with a rain storm, so much so that we had to heave to for 45 minutes before we could enter the anchorage. After it passed I was amazed of the beauty of the Island and the reefs all around. It's not a big Island and where we anchored on the north side is a nice little cove. I am told there is a resort close by but we only saw a few kayaks paddling around. We are both very tired so did limited swimming but the coral looks very nice and we may spend one more day exploring the reefs around.
The water is so clear here that just by looking off of the boat I can see if the anchor is set, just a word to the wise, always paint your anchor white so it is easy to see on the bottom.
Our crossing was good but we left to early. We left at 0900 and had awesome wind but we were going to make it here to fast so we reefed everything and got the boat to slow down. As it turns out the wind died down so we had to motor in anyway. Such as life I guess. This is an amazing place and if we don't leave in the morning I will tell you more about it tomorrow.

PEACE
