Apr 30 about 100 miles away

We are sailing through the islands of Fiji on our way to the town of Savusavu on Vanua Levu, the 2nd biggest island in Fiji. We are about 100 miles away, and expect to arrive about noon tomorrow. We are enjoying an awesome sail downwind in 8-10 knots with a full main and staysail poled out to weather.

Yesterday Brian and I each caught a yellow fin tuna. We had some seared for dinner last night with the grouper and we had a huge sushi feast for lunch today. We still have a ton of tuna and a massive piece of grouper. Good eating ahead!

Today Gigi and Axel made chocolate chip cookies, then Gigi gave Axel a makeup job. He makes a very cute girl. Axel tried to put lipstick on Gigi. I've never seen anything so crooked. I guess after 10 days at sea they had to find some way of entertaining themselves.

We are all looking forward to landfall tomorrow, although thankfully it has been an easy passage.

Cheers,
Julie
