After a calm, peaceful night, we were up early to weigh anchor and set sail for Port Denarau. As the spectacular scenery of Waya Island faded in the distance, we enjoyed a fabulous sail under full main and genoa, cruising at 7.5 Kts in light winds and flat seas. In fact, we couldn't remember when last we were able to enjoy a set table for breakfast while underway and had to admit, naively, that this was the kind of sailing we thought we would be enjoying around the South Pacific. Unfortunately, by mid-morning the wind came forward of the beam and lightened, which meant we had to motor-sail the rest of the way. Guess you take what you can get!

While Elaine did her exercises below deck, Roy was, however, treated to a fascinating display. At first he thought he was looking at the fin of a shark, but then he noticed it was a dolphin on its side, slapping it's fin on the water. Soon thereafter a huge pod of dolphins appeared and they all set off together in the opposite direction to Paw Paw. Definitely behaviour neither of us have seen before.

By early afternoon we were anchored and settled, following which we headed ashore to pick up our renewed passports from the marina office, go to the bank, take a walk to stretch our legs and enjoy an afternoon coffee. Then it was back to Paw Paw to get ready to go out for the evening. We were meeting Blue Summit (Kate and Steve), whom we hadn't seen since leaving New Zealand.  After drinks onboard Blue Summit, we enjoyed a delicious Indian dinner at the Indigo Indian Restaurant. The night seemed to pass by so quickly with all the catching up we had to do, but it was lovely to see them.  We're hoping to touch base with them again in Musket Cove before they leave Fiji for Vanuatu and New Caledonia.
