Just a girl who loves the ocean and did some sailing as a child. Now in adult years I am realizing the joy of sailing with my husband. Started by chartering quite a few catamarans in the Caribbean, then several times in French Polynesia and now purchased our 46’ Dolphin Cat named OCEAN. Currently we are building our knowledge of her by enjoying some coastal sailing & cruising anywhere from New Zealand to Tonga, Fiji and eventually to Australia and beyond…

Transit back from Namena to Savusavu. Made great time in moderate wind and moderately bumpy seas. Sunny skies. Single reefed, making 7-8 knots in 10-13 knots of wind at 60-80 TWA. Surfed up to 11.6 in a gust of 19 knots… Sailing at its finest!

Lovely sail up from top of Tavenui. Great wind, nice sea state & we made great time to Yanuca island. Last picture is in the bay outside of the village school. Sweet spot.

Nice calm seas, not a lot of wind. Was interesting going thru the Somosomo Strait as the currents & wind would change due to the various reef or land effects. Went in bands then calmer.
