At anchor in Kauehi, Tumotos Islands, my first atoll. Scary entrance with badly steered 61 foot Swedish yacht coming out at the same time. Very calm after a rough beam reach for five days. This is the stuff of picture postcards. Waving palms, turquoise water and lots of coral heads to go aground on. I will stay here until Monday and then go to Fakarava where there may be 'phone reception and perhaps even a shop; not that I need much. But come to think of it a good woman would come in handy. Even a bad one...
