Hiva
At 2am local time we finally
put down the anchor in Taiohae Bay. As expected Mike delivered us safely
into the bay using radar, GPS and our very powerful spotlights. I was very
happy to hear the sound of the anchor winch and then the quiet as we shut down
the engine - what a good performance from TIME2. The total trip
from San Diego has been 3058nm (5663kms) and taken a total of 402 hours. The
non-stop crossing section from Turtle Bay took just over 15 days ..pretty good
going!
This is the beautiful view we woke
up to on Thursday morning - lush green mountains. And the bottle of champagne
from our friends Dick and Jauhree we drank to celebrate.
