Back in Fiji and some outstanding photos (24th September)

After a very easy 3 day passage we arrived at Savusavu in Fiji at 8:00am this morning and have pulled up a mooring in front of the Copra Shed and our current position is 16:46.64S 179:20.08E. The passage was 375NM which took us a bit under 3days and we sailed for most of it apart from the last 10hours coming into Savusavu. We have now moved back into the eastern edge of eastern hemisphere after spending most of the season in the western end of the west hemisphere. As it is a Sunday Customs have decided to give us the day off and will clear us in early tomorrow morning when we are looking to also move into one of the marina berths for a few days. We are looking forward to catching up with some of our cruising buddies while we are here. So far we have spotted SV Whistler (who were out on deck to welcome us in), Marilyn and Halo. Have attached a number of photos from our last few days at Samoa and our couple of weeks in Wallis which we have renamed the island of many churches..
