180 miles to go
We are on the move again, we left Faaite Atoll mid morning with initially blustery squally winds and a rough ocean, now things have settled, wind is around 12 knots apparent. After a few sail changes we are now running on spinnaker only, doing around 5-7 knots, should make it a 2 day cruise. We should be at Tahiti by Sunday morning, we will probably stop off at Teahupoo which is down on the south west coast. Kiddies had a bit of "first cruise day" niggles ... but have now settled. Josh is amping on what stock the Tahiti toy shops may have. We are very low on food, basically eating crusts and re-opening garbage bags. By the time we get to Tahiti, Andy and I would have hand steered shimmi more than 1000 nautical miles. But our autopilot is fixed and waiting for us in Papeete, the capital of Tahiti. Nothing much more to report ...
Au revoir
