Tropical breezes

Freewind arrived in Savusavu, Vanua Levu, Fiji at the end of May. It was an easy passage from Tonga, with moderate to light winds from behind. Good to catch up with old friends in the Copra Shed Marina and see how the kids from the Junior Sailing Club have grown and have improved in their sailing. There is a bit of work to do on the Optimist and Laser boats which will keep me busy for a few days, but it’s all worth it when you have such a group of keen young sailors sailing and racing every Saturday.
