At 0430 Mark wakes us all up. Suva harbor is in sight and we need to drop the sails and get ready to anchor. First we must negotiate the pass through the barrier reef. With the help of the GPS, we locate the two lights - line these up and you are aimed directly into the pass. The lights are blue and with the rain it is hard to keep them in sight. Behind us a tuna boat is approaching the harbor so we wait for him to go by and follow him into through the pass.
The Suva yacht club is West of the port and easy to find because there are many commercial ships in the harbor. As the sky brightens we pick out Liahona and drop the anchor nearby. After a long night, everyone is ready for more sleep.
More to come
