After a very enjoyable stay in Savusavu, it’s time to move on. The young sailors at the Savusavu Junior Sailing Club, sponsored by the Copra Shed Marina, have been training hard for this year’s big sporting event of the Pacific – the South Pacific Games, hosted by New Caledonia. Four top Savusavu sailors and their coach Geoff will be flying to Nouméa later this week for the start of the games, and Freewind, with Ron, Tim and Finn on board, will meet them up there. With the brisk easterly winds at the moment, forecast to continue throughout the week, it’s not certain who will arrive there first. |  | |
