Passage to the Tuomotus...

Hi Everyone, Thanks for hanging in there with us...after 107 days since we left family, friends, and all the comforts of home, we are sailing into the Tuomotus. Fellow cruisers say the best is yet to be.

We've decided that we're not young enough ( or are too old) for selfies but have made the exception to show you a "must have" when finding your way (safely) through and into atolls. Also, used for anchoring which eliminates the happy hour entertainment that anchoring can be for the other cruisers in the bay. Ours are not entirely 100% but most importantly the person on the bow can communicate with the helmsman/helms woman

We left Bae d'Anaho( northern Nuku Hiva) on Monday.. We expect to enter the pass for Tahania mid day tomorrow. So think of us tomorrow night on the hook in a beautiful auquamarine bay with white sand beaches.

Stay tuned for our first photo and tales of passing through the opening at slack tide with sun overhead.

FYI Until we reach Tahiti, we will continue to not have access to wifi. So, send your newsy emails to this address. Looking forward to hearing about your summer, favorite ball team and/or a laughable news event.

Love, Leslie and her Capt. (napping now before today's big event & after another one of those unexpected squalls.)
