Liz documented our passage which was to be to Tonga via Minerva but ended up being to Fiji not via Minerva so we could catch up hopefully with the other kid boats. A bunch of photos here documenting the trek north.

| Not in the tropics yet ! |

| Dinner |
 |
| The only problem with catching fish is processing them at sea ... |
 |
| One fish is about seven meals for the family |
 |
| Cooking up Minecraft plans |
 |
| And crocheting. |
 |
| Are we in the tropics yet ? |
 |
| Victoria easing the preventor for us. |
 |
| And now tensioning the preventor |
 |
| Finally flying our new-to-us spinnaker. |
 |
| And of course light air means laundry day |
 |
| and more laundry |
 |
| High-Tech fuel gauge |
 |
| On the helm |
 |
| and baking in the galley |
 |
| A bit windier now. |
 |
| Oh yes, more comfortable now as Fiji gets closer |
 |
| Jesus catches his first fish |
 |
| And treats us with omelettes for breakfast |
 |
| Heading down the Koro Sea |
 |
| The playpen. |
 |
| Looking to confirm our position with an aid to navigation |
 |
| Where is Fiji ? |
 |
| I think we see Fiji. |

| The welcome to Fiji rainbow. Note the trike lashed to the pushpit. |
Great photos of your passage. Miss you guys in Mexico!
ReplyDeleteShindig is being put to bed and we head out on Tuesday for California.
It is hot.... really hot here.
Super photos! The kids are sure growing up fast! Enjoy Fiji. We liked the culture and diverse people the best. We wish we would've spent more time, even a season needed to explore all the islands.
