Still in Wallis!!

We have not left Wallis yet for 3 reasons. We wanted to get Denise's wrist a little more time to settle down, the weather was not ideal earlier in the week and we do not wish to arrive in Fiji at the weekend, as we have heard Fiji authorities charge a large additional fee for clearance on Saturday or Sunday.

We have spent the last few days quietly on the boat, a chance to do a few little jobs and to relax. There have been 2 other yachts moored in the bay with us and it has been a good time to socialise with both couples. Both will be heading to Savusavu, Fiji, around the same time as us.

Denise's wrist has improved considerably, less pain and a lot more comfortable. The half cast will, however, have to stay on for another week. Our current plan is to leave here tomorrow morning as soon as the sun is high enough for us to clearly see and navigate the reefs. The weather looks a lot better and we are hopeful the pleasant easterly wind will continue for a pleasant gentle ride down to Fiji.
