July 24
By 10pm last night the wind had steadied at about 10-12k and we shut down
the engine for good. We sailed through the night in light breezes from 8k
up to about 14k at times. Most of the time we were making 5k but at times
we went as slow as 4.5k. By 5am we had a steady 12k and we had to shorten
sails to prevent arriving before dawn. We sailed North along the East
coast of Huahine and at 8am we turned South along the coast till we came
to Tiare Pass. We went in and looked about but could not find an anchorage
we liked, though the scenery was incredibly beautiful. The most beautiful
tropical isle we've seen so far in the Captain's view. |
