Have made this trip a few times during different seasons, but on larger yachts.
I would do it in stages.....wait out the worst of the NE Monsoon which surges from Now thru to mid- March and then
head to
Palau when the seas die down to get some Easting on probably a close reach.
Enjoy Palau at its best as far as
diving, then head south through PNG and Solomons, again waiting for favourable changes at good locations, while enjoying the trip.
If you want the family to enjoy, don't be a slave to a schedule, but instead make use of changing
weather systems to get to Fiji, via short passages.
