June 17, 2015 0145 MY 43rd Anniversary to my beautiful bride!
50 nm north of Ahe
163nm noon to noon
Aloha everyone, we are almost there! We had a pleasant day of sailing with calmer winds and seas. We had a nice welcoming party of small porpoise this afternoon.As it had been pleasant all day, i had the small hatch over my berth open. While trying to get some sleep prior to my midnight watch, a big wave from nowhere found us and drenched me and my berth! Such is the life of the sailor. We had to slow the boat down so would arrive off of Ahe in the daylight. There are no lighthouses whatsoever. We plan on some snorkeling outside, before entering the pass. We will then get ourselves anchored, look into some water, explore, clean up ad fix up. We will stay one or two days before the final 250nm to Papeete and our wives. Although, at times, it seems like we have been out here forever, it hasn't been so bad. Aloha, David
