The boat is currently in Fiji. Savusavu is relatively safe but for any ex-pats working a business the rules can be an issue. I know Michaels back story there and don't know if he wants anything talked about here.
As far as safety, for cruisers there is almost no problems. I would say it is safer there then anywhere in Fl. That said, grab and goes occur everywhere. The pic was taken in late Oct on our way to Vuda Point Maria where we left Elysium for the cyclone season. We will head back at the end of the season and then cruise Fiji before we head elsewhere.
