Auckland to Fiji in under 5 days: Passage report aboard Khaos, a Pacific 62

Jason Dickey covers the full Auckland to Denarau passage aboard Khaos.

• a brief overview of the vessel's development
• a detailed overview of the weather window and course planning strategy
• fuel burn for the vessel and various speeds and the potential to return to NZ without refuelling
• productive trolling at 10-knots with epic fishing en route
• entering Fiji, paperwork and local support

Jason walks through reading and timing the weather window from Auckland, passage speed versus fuel economy (2.18L/NM at 10+ knots), trolling hard lures in a beam swell, a blue marlin encounter mid-Pacific plus numerous yellowfin, a pre-dawn submerged tree strike that left no mark on the hull, and the full Fiji arrival process - including cruising permit requirements and why a local agent is worth it.
