We have just dropped anchor in the beautiful lagoon at Raivavae, a spectacular island. So much fun seeing this rising out of the deep sea with its jagged peaks and to see green (other than the brocolli) for the first time in 13 days. We ran right down the reef with its turquoise waters and the big ocean rollers crashing in. We came straight in through the leads, excellent.
At rest now after 13 days and 2 hrs, Westhaven to Raivavae anchorage, a great run. My many thanks to Ian & Sefton, an excellent crew and of course our lovely, fast and capable ship. looks to be abt 2350 N Mile run.
Will update this when we head to the Tuamotos, mid week ?
Having a well deserved rum in the cockpit. Nearly swim time.
