 Nobody said you can't eat well while sailing.

General's Chicken.  Found this recipe online and I had everything except green onions.  The sauce was a bit heavy on the Hoisin, but otherwise very tasty.  A sprinkle of chili peppers really helped spice it up.



Ripe papaya with fresh lemon juice for breakfast.  Tasty!

 Ok, I'm a long day from Savusavu.  Calm waters, cell coverage, restaurants and bars.  I'm gonna do this, come hell or high water. Got up and made pancakes.  Was down to a quarter tank of diesel so I took the time to add my 40 liters of reserve to the tank. Up anchor at eight, motored (surprise!) straight into big swells at the head of Nadi Bay.  Tough it out, gotta make happy hour.

So the plan was to motor like mad today, starting at first light.   There was supposed to be no wind all day, according to Predict Wind.   Then the wind was supposed to shift to the west, giving me a nice push once around the point to Savusavu.   Ah yes, the best laid plans… Woke up at five to torrential rain (again).   JFC what is it with this rain?   Then I heard the rigging start to sing.   Uh-oh.   Then the boat started to hobby horse.   Then it went from a hobby to a vocation.   So much for the plan.   Looks like I’m sticking it out at anchor again.   Good news is I have a mud bottom and a great set; I’m not dragging, at least. 8 am.   Vocation went to...
