Timshel - To Viti Levu

From Savusavu (on Vanua Levu) we had an early start and sailed (or rather we motor sailed) in company with Taistealai to Namena island going into the lagoon through North Save-a-tack pass and exiting through South Save-a-tack pass. After looking at the island we went on to Matagi leaving the one mooring buoy for Zeeland who was following to have for the night. It was a very bouncy motorsail down to the pass into Matagi - where did the wind and waves come from? Safely arrived in daylight, though the pass was interesting and all the markers are as missing as usual, we caught up Lexington and joined Misto, Laura Dawn, Sumore in the anchorage, Owl was just leaving. Next day another early start, heading through Broad Passage, and Vatu-i-ra channel to Nananu Passage and hopefully to find anchorage at Volivoli point off the big island of Viti Levu. Sailing in company with Lexington, the faster boats Taistealai and Misto having taken a different longer route to go past something called Moon reef where apparently one is likely to see dolphins. We are very conscious of needing to arrive in good time to navigate passages through the reefs with good light - mind you there are reefs all around. Everyone is still having trouble with the Fijian place names, though we are looking forward to Bligh water.
