12 Aug we anchored at 17.29.45S, 149.51.14W. Just a short hop round into the next bay. Water is clear and blue and Rays went passed the boat, very little tide and really lovely, don't know why we stopped where we had before accept that there are lots of boats here and 2 boats where we were.
 
Left in the evening on 15 August for Huahine with Northern Rose and Mambo. Mambo radio'd that they had engine problems before they had set off so Pat and Glen reanchored to see if they could help. They ended up leaving with one engine, advantages of a Cat. We were not far out when the auto helm stopped working. We ended up helming all night with the engine on as steering difficult due to tide, waves wind etc.
