We set our clocks back again as Fiji is behind Tonga by another hour. Fiji came into sight with the rising of the sun this morning.
We entered the huge channel going into Savusavu at around noon.
It was really simple as the channel itself is a few miles wide. There is an unmarked shoal in the centre and supposedly some exposed rocks (which we could not see), but they are a good mile to the west of the east side of the channel, so you have plenty of room to avoid it.
Halfway into the bay, we entered a little channel that brought us to Copra Shed, the marina we are staying at the next week or so.
It was a little cloudy when we arrived, but that all cleared up within a few hours. They put us on a mooring ball and the health people came out to our boat immediately, but the customs people were on their lunch break and we ended up waiting for them until 5pm.
We just stayed on the mooring ball for the night as it was so late when we left. We will move to a slip on the morrow (haha).
