Apparently, there is a tsnuami chasing us but this has really been the best passage. Nothing is broken, the water is also where it is supposed to be, the sun is shining, and the wind is even coming from somewhere other than straight ahead (actually its straight behind which is also a pain, but it gets our vote :) ). We were also chased by imaginary pirates last night. A fishing boat was coming right up our date, whistling in the radio and saying something unintelligible in Tahitian. He was definitely aiming at us, probably curious and wanted a closer look. Suddenly, when he was less than 2nm out a front passed, the wind strength doubled and changed direction by 90 degrees! We were suddenly flying along at 8-9 knots in flat seas! Itw as surreal and we left our friends to concentrate on the fishing. Our own fish tally stands at 1 despite trailing lures everywhere we go.we remain unpeturbed! :)
We are about 24 hours from Raiatea now, hoping the tsunami is a non event on the land.
