18º 7.38' S | 178º 25.488' E | Saltheart Foam Follower | Saltheart position update We made it to Fiji Love this downwind sailing and also the short passage. Zero anxiety about weather and pretty comfortable, we even managed a shower last night! For some reason all of our entries to new countries so far have been on weekends, at least this time it’s only an overnight wait to clear. Looks so different here with high rise ( well about 4 story) and plenty of commercial vessels and mountains! Excited about checking out the food and city tomorrow.
