8am Position 16 degrees 36 minutes S, 178 degrees 35 minutes W
Sailing at 7 knots course 281, wind 20 knots from 100, moderate seas, poor visibility in heavy rain! 5 miles from the turning point towards the entrance to Nanuku passage between the reefs and islands East of Fiji, looking at charts and cruising guides to see whether night arrival to Savusavu is OK, and, if not, whether there is good safe shelter off savu savu for the night (not a good idea to sail these waters close inshore at night, when charts are not always accurate and reefs wont be visible). At this speed we will not arrive in daylight. Forecast is for 20 knots ESE, showers.
