That was probably one of the most difficult passages we have ever done! Light winds, no winds, squalls then motoring for over 60 hours! No fun :( But we made it and it is an incredible place. The full moon shines down on us anchored off a small village at the N end of the atoll. We made a bouncy entry through the pass...and I mean bouncy....shipping water over the decks and at one point did a 360 but managed to push our way through only to be met by 15 to 20 knots of wind dead on the nose for
8 miles to get to the anchorage! But we made it before sundown and got the hook down in sand and coral. We are exhausted but relieved to have arrived!
