Day 9 (Wed) - Tupai

Wednesday, June 26, 2013





Back at sea again today...
















Shoveling sand by hand (good winter job in Bora).
Raising the sails.

Rough water in the open seas which was way cool (at least for the passengers)!              Made for a wet ride on the trampoline
Headin to Tupai:





















Saw through the passe's to the inner island of Tupai -- gorgeous lagoon...


Rode the wind back past Bora in the direction of Tahaa.  After some long tacking, we motored into Tahaa (many zzzzzzzz's were taken on this trip)...

Arrived after dark at Tahaa.  Challenging using the GPS, markers, and our memory of the passe to get back into the lagoon.  Once inside, we had further challenges with some of the markers no longer being lit.  With Cary's GPS tracking and many scouts on the front of the boat, we arrived at an excellent anchorage!!!

Loooonnnngggg day sailing/motoring (56+++ miles).  Wore the Captain out, he needs to be rebooted...
