We snuck our way between the islands and reefs of Oneata passage yesterday morning, and are now crossing the Koro Sea towards the north Astrolabe reef, which we will pass tonight before entering the Navula Passage to Lautoka, 135 miles away.

Big moment last night when we crossed 180 longitude - now more than halfway round the world! It's hard to believe how far dear old Hygeia has carried us. We still have Mazy only 1/2 mile away - crewed by a really nice Norwegian couple, Iofric & Mia (sic), and their two friends & son Ola. They hooked a massive fish (?30-40 kilos) last night but then lost it after struggling for 40 minutes. So no tuna steaks for us, but we had a great Spanish omelette instead!
