[weather] SE 20-37 knots rain squalls
[status] after a day that started threatening then cleared into great sailing conditions then changed to rain squalls with gusts to 36 knots and sustained periods of 30 + as we approached Raivavae.
Arrived just too late to enter in the dark ( by 30mins after 13 days at sea!) so anchored off the entrance to the reef in 12m of water - will be quietest night for a while and will enter the pass in the morning to clear in .
Feels good to put the anchor down again :)
