Subject: Exodus – On passage to Fulaga
After a great several days with Tim and Fran at Paradise Taveuni, we let go of the mooring ball yesterday evening and are now bashing into 15-20 kt winds. Trying to go in a SE direction against the trade winds is a HUGE pain, but Fulaga is supposed to be amazing, and once we get there, we can comfortably work our way back north. Speaking of comfortable, I am anything but that right now, so I will keep this short.
Love and miss you all,
-D.
