13 days and 20 hours.

 

Ahhh, to be still again! Amazing shelter, considering the wind and swell out at sea.

All went very well and peacefully. We approached the harbour in rain and low black clouds but now the sun is out and we are enjoying 80 degrees F (25+C) which is cooler and more pleasant than French Polynesia, especially the nights...we believe.

Now we have to launch the dinghy and do the formalities with USA Customs, Immigration and Biosecurity.

We look forward to meeting Jody and Darren, s/v Gratetouille, as we have been in radio contact with them throughout this passage, but have not met them in person yet. They will be making landfall this evening, after having left Bora Bora 31 days ago.
