The weather is not cooperating with us! The last forecast yesterday afternoon showed 30kt winds and 3 metre seas en-route to Tahiti with much rain. This was confirmed by boats en-route to Tahiti who were wishing they had waited!
Anyway, according to the 'Meteo', things are calming down during today (Tue 29th) and should (hah!) be down to 15kt winds and 2.5 metre seas by tomorrow. This is also the view of a couple of other forecasts and 'local wisdom' so we wait until tomorrow morning.
The latest cunning plan, away by 0730 Wed 29th and in Tahiti by Fri afternoon 2nd. All local times, of course.......we are UTC -10hours.
