Tahanea

Shindig and Alcyone made an overnight passage from Makemo to Tahanea.  It is only 50 miles but we couldn't make that distance in the daylight hours.  In order to make Tahanea at dawn we had to average less than 4.5 knots.   Do you know how hard it is to make Shindig go slow?

Once in the lagoon we headed to the South East corner and met up with our buddies on S/V Tumbleweed that we had last seen in the Marquesas and Katie and Mike of S/V Pangaea.

They wouldn't let us pay them!

    Hey wait a minute, aren't I with you right now in La Ventana? Great pics of one of my favorite places on earth. Fun times with terrific people and beautiful underwater terrain.
