We’re anchored just a half mile inside the reef from the Koro Sea.

We left Savusavu around 1600 and anchored just in time for Sunset and a Charisma.

Dinner of eggplant and bok choy on rice (with a little Hoisin sauce and a dash of Siricha) and we’re set.

It’s now about 2020. It’s absolutely still, flat calm, with a lovely little sliver of a moon behind us peaking through the clouds.

Ann’s grabbing a nap as we’re going to leave this idyllic spot around 2200 and head 185 or so miles south to the island of Fulunga. She’s first up on watch. We’re planning an arrival for about 1000 Friday which coincides with high tide/slack water for going through the reef pass. The hitch right now is a forecast for clouds and some rain at that time. We’ll hope its not too bad. If we hadn’t been there before we would make other plans, but we have pretty solid GPS waypoints from last year, so as long as the conditions are not too crazy, we’ll go in. Otherwise – plan B. Don’t know what that is yet, but stay tuned.

OK, I see that as I’m writing this the clouds have parted, so I’m going to the foredeck for a little stargazing while we’re waiting to leave.
