We had quite a busy morning collecting tanks, provisioning, refueling the dinghy and sorting out taxis for next Wednesday when we’re expecting friends to visit. By 11am we were done and ready to leave Savusavu. As much fun as it’s been we need a break. Our main goal is to get to Fawn Harbour early next week but that’s too far to reach with good light starting at Savusavu in the middle of the day. So we ambitiously set off for Lesiatheva Point just 4nm away where we knew there would be an anchorage and possibly free internet. We found both.<\/p>\n

INSERT_MAP<\/center><\/p>\n

We’re actually anchored off the Jean-Michel Cousteau Fiji Islands Resort<\/a> which looks pretty cool but out of our price bracket. It makes a very nice back drop to our location.<\/p>\n

Once we’d settled in we went snorkeling nearby. It was not spectacular but it was great to get wet again. The last time we were in the sea was way back in Kelefesia last October. The water was warm and there was coral and fish to see but it was a little murky. After our swim we took the kayak out together for the first time and paddled around the edge of the resort. The exercise was good and we can see ourselves doing this more often.<\/p>\n

After that it was a matter of just relaxing the afternoon and evening away. We had pretty decent weather through the afternoon even though it looked like the heavens were pouring on Savusavu just a short distance away. Helen cooked up a great curry which we were going to eat outside except the rain finally caught us so we sat inside. We also took in a movie.<\/p>\n

We’ve decided to hang around here one more day. We do have internet which is good some of the time. Mainly we just want time to really decompress after our passage and the business of Savusavu. Tomorrow morning we’ll leave at dawn for Fawn Harbour aiming to arrive early afternoon when the light is good for our passage through the reef.<\/p>\n

Speaking of passages through reefs we heard some terrible new from our friend Peter on Troutbridge. He ran up onto a reef while entering Suva. Best to read his blog<\/a> for the detail. Boating dreams sometimes come to a rapid and shocking end\/hiatus and we feel for Peter. He came up through the same mess of sea and weather as we did. However, Dignity is a solid boat and carries us safely through such extremes even if not comfortably when the going is rough.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
