Sunday, October 21, 2007 - Getting Hot
21 October 2007 | Vuda Point Marina, Fiji

I don't know what the temperature is but it is getting uncomfortably hot. There has been no wind for the past week and the marina is like a sauna. More and more boats are departing for the cool weather of New Zealand but many are being slowed by adverse wind. Sailors experienced with this passage tend to depart later than most of the fleet to take advantage of more favorable winds but then there is the risk of an early cyclone. This risk, however, is extremely small.
All else is well onboard. Sand Dollar is still awaiting repairs to the anchor winch. Maybe we will be able to leave here tomorrow.
