We left Raroia Thursday morning, crossed the lagoon and exited the pass without too much excitement then as soon as we got into clear water the wind dropped!  So much for our 10 to 15 knot forecast, we motored till noon when we got enough wind to sail, rolled out the headsail and stay sail both on poles and headed off downwind.  We were in company with Kinabula and stayed close all night and through some rather unpleasant squalls next day then got in here mid afternoon.  Another stunning spot, quite different to Raroia, but both just beautiful.  Better blogs when decent Internet. 

Photo is of Moonshadow who was previously owned by our good friend George, Mark has sailed Fiji to Auckland on Moonshadow many years ago.  Great to see her and her new owners enjoying the Pacific.
