Hi Rob, looks like a great trip, Brian and Cheryl towed us into Papeete lagoon anchorage after sailing there, our engine quit in Ahi atoll Tuamotus. We almost bought Tinopai but your faster this time. Great boat. We are still circumnavigating from California, starting up again 2016, will see you and Tinopai when we return in 8 years, to Nelson to retire, small world, Robin & Stephi S/V Red Witch II, How was your sail to Tonga,??? we hope to head that way from Whangarei first then up to Samoa....
