The remote Lau island group is located in the Southeast of Viti Levu. Unfortunately this is exactly the direction of the prevailing Trade Winds. The weather forecast shows however for the next days, that the Trade Winds will be canceled out and replaced by some southern winds. This is a rather rare opportunity for us to be able to get in the Lau group. Most of the time by engine, but anyway it might work.

Before departure we should prepare our self for the journey. This includes laundry, taking water and fuel and stocking up the food staff.
