11th Sept, Malolo Lailai, Fiji

We have had a great time at Musket Cove but are ready for some relaxing time. We headed ashore to buy bread and say goodbye to people as after this week we are going to be moving quicker than most other boats.
We finally got back to Newt at midday and picked up the anchor. We were heading to the other end of the island but not exactly sure where. We picked a nice bay off a resort which should have been protected when the wind swung round to the prevailing direction as it has done all week.
After a couple of hours of bumpy anchorage we decided to give up on the wind and head back to Musket Cove where we knew despite the wind the sea would be flat.
Back at Musket Cove we found a space to anchor – unfortunately our good spot had been taken.
Jeff and Kirsty came over for dinner and we had a lovely evening with them. We are looking forward to spending time with them in Sydney and doing some more racing on Nemesis.
