The crew of the sailing vessel Y2K, a 45-foot catamaran, transits from Yadua Island to the Yasawa archipelago in Fiji, covering approximately 50 miles in 17-knot winds.9:20 Navigating the passage requires choosing between a northern or southern route around the reef; the crew selects the southern path after consulting with a catamaran that reported deep water and clear visibility of reef patches.10:20 During the transit, wind speeds increase to 16 knots, creating one-meter swells in open water.13:19 Upon arrival at Yasawa Island, the crew anchors in 4 meters of water, utilizing a stern anchor to manage the position in a tight, coral-heavy anchorage.16:05 The crew performs the traditional *sevu sevu* ceremony with local villagers and visits the community school.16:58 While anchored, the crew experiences significant rolling due to southwesterly swells, which complicates sleep and dinghy operations.25:48 The vessel remains in the area for several days before departing for Champagne Beach, navigating a route previously scouted by another boat to avoid reef hazards.26:19
