Saturday 11.10.2014:
We ended up spending more time in Savu than planned as the Westerbeke
Generator started to overheat. I spend almost two days changing the impeller,
which mean that the water pump has to be taken off to get to the impeller, and
then I also took off the exhaust system and pipes. Two of the pipes needed
changing and off we went to town finding these special type of pipes. After
several hours we found one correct pipe and one that will do and back into the
engine room and reinstalling it all again. In the end the tests I did were, so
far, positive and I hope the problem is now sorted out.
Yesterday we set sail and sailed in a fantastic favourable wind the 50 NM
to the Kadavu island and its Great Astrolabe Reef. There are hardly any boats
here and so far we have only seen two other sailing boats. The weather ended up
changing and we had a lot of rain and thunder. Today the sun shine, but the
forecast is for light variable winds from all directions.
Our anchorage for the night.
