7 Nov – 7 Dec 2015
Route Recap
We said good-bye to Fiji with an early morning departure from Rotuma on Saturday, 7 November. A two and a half day passage brought us to Funafuti, the capital of the island nation of Tuvalu. We spent 11 days in the atoll of Funafuti, mostly at the main island of Fongafale, but also with a couple brief visits at other anchor spots. Picking a weather window to leave Funafuti turned out to be a difficult task, but in the end we were compelled to leave in order to avoid bad weather in Funafuti. It was another two and a half day passage up to the northern most island in Tuvalu, called Nanumea. We thoroughly enjoyed Nanumea and ended up staying there two weeks before departing on Monday, 7 December northbound for Tarawa, Kiribati.
