Tuesday 15th April
Well we have now left The Marqueses and heading S.W. down to The Tuamotos islands and atolls, it's about 485mls and we now have 160 to go so should arrive Wed am.We have great winds about 15- 20 kts on our port
quarter.S.O.G 7.5kts so we are very happy, except we have seen no wildlife at all,we havn't seen any other boats since we left just lot's of blue blue sky and sea.(Better than the M25 on a wet Monday I suppose).The Tuamatos consists of 76 atolls the land mostly being just about 2mts above sea level.There are many reefs so great for diving and snorkelling but a bit tricky when it comes to navigation.Some of the islands have pearl farms, so shall keep Andy away from those.We hope to visit 4 or 5 different atolls depending on the amount of time. From Tuamatos we will sail to Tahiti hoping to arrive around 2nd May.
Life's going to be a beach for the next couple of weeks.
