all good here .
On the road again..on the way to AHE pass, an atoll in the Tuomotu. All depends on weather and timing if we can get in or not. If we cannot get in we may go on to Rangiroa.

Liberty sailing well in big sea with consistent wind at 20 to 30 knots on a nice broad reach.

about 450 miles to go

Each one of us acknowledged a sadness at leaving Tahuatu. We have had a great rest and relax there. Yesterday we played on the beach again, went picking wild lemons in the forest and we took BUBA the cat from Regina for a walk.

Today, Johan caught a huge fish. I found it all a strange experience because it was so beautiful I felt reluctant to finish it off. (we did with copious amounts of gin) Benj was very excited but could hardly lift it. It was bright sparkly yellow and fought a great fight, but I am quietly hoping we don't do too much more catching of fish. It is so much more straightforward to buy this stuff in Waitrose! I may quietly sabotage the fishing gear on watch tonight. Anyway we now have enough fish for a week.
