This is time to leave SAVU SAVU with Helena and to sail to the MAMANUCAS; solution we choice is not the shortest but probably the easiest:  Sailing between the 2 main islands, crossing Blighwaters to the north YASAWAS, then following  the leeward side of these touristic and dry island. Wind is mostly from the back but the coral formations are everywhere, sometimes with a average clarity of water and sometimes, the patches are not exactly where located on the map this impose a permanent watch on board at least to Blighwaters where brake the speed to ovenight.
