We left Vianni Bay yesterday and sailed up the Somosomo straits to the northern tip of Taveuni Island. We picked our way through the reef and are now anchored up outside the small town of Matei. Our friends Steve and Helen from " Dignity" are here and we have this beautiful place to ourselves. We went ashore yesterday and had some dinner in one of the local hostelries which was a pleasant change. There are a few high end resorts here so the area is very verdant and manicured. We will do a bus trip to the local scenic places notably a waterfall and a Catholic mission in we can find the chicken bus to take us there. It's a holiday today in Fiji, for some reason they are celebrating the Queen's birthday and everything is closed.
Grocery shopping will have to wait untill tomorrow as well. Today will be spent diving on the reef and repairing my 10 horse outboard which has decided to quit running.
