We actually made it out of Savusavu - 8 miles out - on our way to the French island of Futuna for our annual get-out-of-Fiji run.

| Broken toggle - not good |
But, it wasn't meant to be.
 |
| Staysail coming down |
We noticed that our staysail furler was swinging around and we weren't even using it - not good

So, we turned around and headed back to the Copra Shed Marina.
Too bad, it looks like we finally head our good weather window - well except for the big waves we were hitting yesterday - yikes!

The Customs officials weren't too excited about seeing us again so soon, but they checked us back into Fiji.
Doug quickly found the problem - a broken lower toggle on the inner forestay.
 |
| That's our Ferry |
Even quicker, Doug was able to buy a replacement from one of the Yachties.
Much cheaper than ordering from the States - even better!
 |
| Ready to get off the Ferry |
Once the fix is in place, we will start looking for that good weather window to Futuna - again.
Hope you get a kick out of the pictures below - we have been having some fun since our return from the USA!
