Vuda to Denerau

Clive Carrington-Wood

Required to anchor outside Vuda Marina in order for a non-approved engineer to visit to repair the fridge compressor, we decided to move on to Denerau. Started an hour later than hoped, partly delayed by an electrical cable caught over the anchor on weighing. Once cleared through good seamanship, we dashed the 5 miles to Denerau but too late to enter the marina. Anchoring outside we elected not to go ashore by tender on arrival. Wind was SE force 3-4 with no significant wave height owing to short offshore fetch.
