Reaching the trade winds

We are now North of Norfolk Island, where we stopped on the way down from New Caledonia, However, it is quite a long way to our West. This means we are roughly half way to Fiji. At the moment we're getting a decent wind between 15 and 20 knots from the ESE and moving along well. We are trying to keep the boat speed down, so as not to arrive in Savu Savu at the weekend. However, it does not seem as if we are going to be able to avoid that. If you arrive at the weekend you have to pay customs overtime.
Everything on board is OK. We enjoyed a very authentic moussaka last night.
