Timshel - Tonga to Fiji Day 1 and 2

Very little wind so we set off under engine. At 21.00 managed to set sail wing and wing, but only making 3 kt or so, gave up after 6 hours when boat speed down to less than 2 kt and wind at 5 kts and motored. And motored, wind getting less and less all day by evening a glassy calm. Spectacular sunset in front of us with the full moon rising behind. The moon makes the night passage so easy almost as bright as day. We slowed a bit to conserve fuel as we are obviously not going to get there in daylight Saturday so plan for Sunday morning arrival at Vanua Balavu in the Eastern Lau group of Fiji.
