Up early today to get the lazy jacks sorted and a few other minor repairs.

Once done we set off to climb the peak of the island - a 6 hour round trip according to the guidebooks.
We were up in 1hr 40min and down in 1hr 30 min, and of course were rewarded with the most fantastic views of the island.

Its fair to say the climb was steep and dense, and made you breathless!

Once back down it was time to get ready for sea, and off we went - next destination Palmerston Atol, around 650 nm from Bora Bora (hopefully 2.5 days sail).
