And we are all here at sunrise, a little sleepy, but doing fine.
Recap of yesterday (Day 12)
Most of yesterday was beautiful.
We even enjoyed a delightful rainbow, and some light, not cold (!) Rain.
But in the late afternoon, the main halyard partially failed when the red sheathing just parted from itself at the cleat on the mast. Luckily, the core of the line stayed in tact.
With some fast ugly whipping, we kept it from getting much worse, and we were able to lower the sail. And replace the halyard. ... at least the boat is stocked with supplies & extras. And luckily, we were able to complete this exercise before it got dark. Whoop!
We put up our smaller amount of sail for night sailing, set the auto helm to steer to the wind. And passed a mostly uneventful night.
This morning (Monday, 5/17: Day 13)
We can see Moorea, and Tahiti is just on the other side. With a little luck we will arrive before noon.
Or maybe not... whatever. We have confirmed with the harbor master that there is a space for us.
Love and Light,
~e.
