[status] hi followers, apologies for being later than normal today with our daily blog, but we've been rather busy today .......... the good news is we safely arrived in Raivavae this morning and dropped our anchor at 10.30 which is (within a few minutes) exactly 14 days since we left Bayswater Marina in Auckland on our epic journey across the South Pacific Ocean.

P'zazz & Taronui entered through the reef approx 1hr before us, but we are now all safely anchored within 100meters of each other, the closest we have been since our mid ocean rendezvous some 1000nm ago!

The next few days will be sorting out our 'jobs list' and drying out the boat, she needs a bit of tlc following the 11day uphill bashing she has endured, whilst we will also be getting ashore to explore this beautiful island. We can see the waves crashing over the reef from our anchorage and witnessed a magical sunset this evening, whilst enjoying our first beer for 14 days with the gallant crew from P'zazz!

The "at sea" duty chef had a night off ....... Andrew cooked us very nice meal of matured rump steak, all washed down with a nice glass of red.

Position 10.30 FP (Tahiti) time. 0 miles to destination, for now!

Details of our next leg to Rapa, will follow in due course, once we've recuperated from our exertions so far!!!
