We've arrived!

We had a great sail all last night and arrived at the pass into Kauehi this morning just as the sun was coming over the horizon. One tack just outside the pass lined us up and we were able sail right in (even against the 4kn current flowing out! The pass here is nice and wide with no obstructions, but there are a few coral heads in the lagoon, so we ducked to one side and dropped anchor in 75ft to wait for the sun to rise high enough so we can see the coral heads. Wyndeavor is about 3 hours behind us, so we'll probably wait for them to shoot the pass and cross the lagoon together (it's about 8 miles wide).

It's absolutely gorgeous here. The water is crystal clear - we can see bottom at 70ft, and are sure looking forward to going for a swim!

I'd have to say that this was one of my favorite passages so far. Other than motoring for about 6 hours yesterday the sailing was supurb, especially last night as the seas were very calm and we had about 10-12kn of wind on the beam which makes us go fast (6-7kn). 528 miles, average speed 6kn.
