Explore Sailing Voyages in Fiji 🇫🇯

We made it to Fiji!!!!! The trip from Minerva Reef to Fiji was spectacular 🤩 Songster was flying in a beam reach angle, 20-25kts of wind, in pure glory. The waves could have been a little smaller though! But they didn’t prevent us from having such a great time!!! Welcome to cruising life, Juliette ❤️

First sailing voyage of Juliette!! We are happy to arrive in minerva reef after 6 days of sailing. We waited for over 2 months for a good weather window and we got it! First two days we were sailing nicely downwind; third day we were motoring in a calm with flat waters and lots of rain; forth day we were having a broad reach; and then fifth and sixth day we were having a beam reach, sometimes reaching angle, but with little waves 🙏🏼 After hearing stories of sailors that left before us and had a miserable trip, with lots of things breaking down, with everyone seasick, and even boats having a knockdown, we are glad we waited for the right window to introduce sailing to Juliette 🤗🤗🤗

What a voyage! Drive belt failure leading to alternator failure and eventually Engine failure, generator failure, flooding of the forward cabin, switch failure of the furling winch, contrary winds, light airs and eventually a gale from astern (thank heavens) to blow us into the Bay of Islands. Phew, what a passage.
