A very windy night, with me on anchor watch all night long.
Lots of rain, and the discovery of another leak in our cabin.
The anchor pulling out of the coral head we had been attached to all night, just as we were about to leave for a tour around the island.
Getting the wire painter for the rib caught around the starboard prop shaft, with the effect of pulling the shaft out of the engine drive.
All of this meant that we were late for Joel, Jenny had to stay behind with a tube of 5200 and to do anchor watch.
Anyway, eventually we were underway for our tour of the island.
The island is very beautiful and totally un-spoilt - the most genuine of the Society Islands.
