We sailed 125 miles from Prony Bay to here and through two passes on both ends, which took us just under 24 hours. It was a very pleasant sail even when the wind dropped under a starry night.

We arrived here at noon and were amazed by the stunning blues and turquoises of the sea.

A picture perfect lagoon with a 25 km white sandy beach and villages along the shores. We will catch up on sleep first and find the chief tomorrow, when we go ashore.
