OOROO1 – Tonga to Fiji – 13th August 2017 - Blog 4

We set the clocks back an hour to 12+ UTC Fiji Time.
On sunrise we saw land and decided to find shelter from 25 knot winds in Kanduva Island at 10:00am for brunch. We departed at 1100hrs with three reefs in the Genoa to reduce our speed which would allow us to make the Malolo passage at first light, ready to clear customs at 10:00 on the 14th at Vuda Marina, Nadi
Still no luck with the fish, OOROO captain and crew all well.
