Shhh…It’s So Quiet.

Posted on by

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.

  1. Thank you so much for the Savu Savu YC cap Sue gave me today. So sorry that I missed sailing with you last week.

  2. Quiet, quiet!! What the hey! It’s the Fourth Of July for crying out loud. Get up! Get the fireworks! We have a birthday to celebrate. Wahoooo!!!

    OK, simmer down there big boy. Hopefully the weather will let you, at least, do a quiet and solemn toast to the miracle birth of a most unique representative government. Given our current state, however, chances are good the Founding Fathers are champing at the bit to pop our of their graves and give the current culture what for. Still and all, nothing lasts forever and those old dudes gave us some good years.

    So, light ’em if you got ’em (fireworks that is)!! Unfortunately, due to all my fellow humans, it’s way past too dry to fire off anything in NorCal. Plus, you know, not so much water around to put out the flames.

    HAPPY “ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL” DAY!!
