Location 16° 41S, 151° 28W
Saturday, 09.29.2007

The Schooner Maggie B was at 16° 41S, 151° 28W, just around the corner from the Taravana Yacht Club, where we had moored for Friday night. We are finally underway for Rangiroa. We have about 235 NM to go and, wind and weather permitting, should be there Monday, October 1st.

Wind and weather are permitting us pretty well now. We are doing 6 knots, headed about for Rangiroa, as we have a 10-14 knot SE’erly, though things may change as we work our way out of Huahine’s wind shadow. It is a lovely clear day, with only a few clouds which serves as punctuation in the blue sky.

The scene as I write this at @1600 is completely beautiful. Huahine is about 20 NM off our starboard beam, the twin islands of Raietea and Taha’a are 20 NM behind us and Bora Bora punctures the horizon about 35 NM away on our port quarter.

If the technology worked, we uploaded a bunch of new photos to the web this morning, which I hope all will enjoy.

All is well.
