Fiji 17* 40.9 S 177* 20.7 E
It is just after noon on Tuesday and we finally got through customs and immigration clearance. Ann and Bear are off to a local hotel until they fly to NZ tomorrow, while Andy and I are getting underway. The magic navigation box says 1150 nm to Auckland and the weather is forecasted to be OK for our passage. The weather guessers say we should have winds in the 15 - 25 kt range and seas ranging 3 - 4 meters. Not perfect, but not miserable, either. We intend to push Oso harder than usual on this passage and plan on running at 8 - 8.5 kts. that should put us in Auckland in about 6 days.
Fiji has been a great place and we intend to be back here next year, after the cyclone season.
