Today we motored 35 miles through a maze of reefs and small islands on the north coast of Viti Levu, the principle island of Fiji. The wind was very light, never over 10 knots. The route was marked with poles and sticks but they are poorly maintained and can never be completely trusted. Fortunately, we had good light all day so that the reefs were very obvious.

Our anchorage is in a small bay next to an island which appears to have a real estate development for foreigners, probably Kiwis. There are about a dozen very beautiful beach houses and some large opulent homes on the tops of hills. Also, there is a small "eco" resort on the bay.

All else is well onboard. Tomorrow we will continue heading west as long as the weather is good.
