Got in her yesterday morning after a great night
sail. Left Moorea with 20kts of breeze, as it was night we had one reef in. A
bit rolly, but a steady 7.5 kts. The wind would pick up to about 25kts in the
rain, then drop away altogether. about 0200 it went down to 10kts so I shook the
reef out, and left Ina to find some more wind. This she did, and we were soon
flying again in 20kts. The sea was a little short and lumpy on the aproach to
the island, but flattened out wonderfully once past the reef. In through the
southern pass, and along the inside of the reef to a great little anchorage,
about 50 mtrs off a sandy beach with 1.5 mtrs onder the keel. Watching the
anchor hit bottom,and then have Simon dive on it to check is fun.
Amanda managed to swim down tothe bottom, and come
up with a handfull of sand as proof!
Amanda & Ina are now ashorre, A is riding her
bike about, and Ina is, hopefully, jogging. Simon and I are going to cut the
grass, the UK antifouling we had put on does not seem to do much other than
encourage growth!
