To Fiji

Good Morning!
Pau Hana is on the move and headed for Fiji.
As of 0715 local on Saturday, which is 1830 UTC on Friday:
S 19*03
W 175*51
Speed 5.5 knots
Course 245* mag
Wind 10 kts SSW
Sea <1m

Sailing through the night last night there was no moon, so the stars and biolumenescence were very bright.
This morning before dawn I was sure a ship was approaching us from the east, but after more than 20 minutes I figured out that it was Venus rising above the horizon. Oops.
Comfortable sailing so far. Beam reach to close reach so no rolling. We're headed towards Lautoka, in SW Fiji to pick up our friend Megan Kempt who is arriving for a visit.
I replaced the antenna feed line while in Tonga so my radio works much better.

All's well aboard

Martin
