Fiji

Hi and welcome to another part of the Adventures of Elysium. I left the KIngdom of Tonga after only spending 10 days there and needed to head to Fiji to meet up with crew for the month of November. It was a great sail from Tonga to Fiji, on the way I was doing a controlled jib and the Boom goose neck broke. I am very lucky the boom itself did not break. There was no damage to the main sail and so I was able to continue the trip under 2 head sails. AS it happens, I think I made better time with wing on wing head sails and a much more comfortable ride for sure. I sailed through the night between the Lau group of islands of Fiji and through a narrow passage. I was comfortable doing this at night with my Radar on and a great help. I arrived in Vuda Point marina 2 days later and the work began. I had a welder and an electrician on the boat the day I arrived. I also had a mechanic onboard to try and get the gen set running. I am now enjoying the Yasawas in Fiji! What a spectacular place to cruise. Lots of islands and beaches, and tourist's and back packers to go along!!! Currently I am at the very north Island in the Yasawas group!

Thanks for stopping by!!!!!

Captain Louis
