Hello All,
We left Nananu I cake Island this morning and headed west along the North shore of Veti Vevu. I have the GPS route from other cruiser but surprisingly the inside reef channel was well marked and was easy to see with a beautiful sunny day. The wind was blowing 20 knots on a beam reach most of the way so we put up the stay sail to help our speed. I do not sail when I am inside reefs. One, your always turning to follow the passage so you have to adjust sails all the time and two, you can not maneuver the boat as well if some thing like a reef jumps out in front of you.
We made the 27 mile passage in 5 hours and found a beautiful little bay lined with mangroves. We dropped the anchor in 17 feet mud bottom. Alex made a very good dinner and we watched a movie tonight.
We will head for Latoka in the morning and hope to get there at 1400. It looks like it is going to be another nice day so life is good.
That's all for now folks.
PEACE
