We left Papeete at midday. Initially not much breeze in the lea of the island. Put out my newest lure and in no time had a huge strike. Despite slowing the yacht to a couple of knots, the drag on the real could not slow the fish and off it went with the lure and most of the line! Since then, no fish but the wind has come up. Two reefs in the main, the headsail wound 1/2 in and polled out 7kts over the ground. Should have us at Bora Bora by midday tomorrow which will be just right with the slack tide.
