We had some pretty strong winds in the anchorage last night but Sidewinder held fine, and today we head south with Savannah to join Alexis about half way down the west side going south to motu Valorea and pointe Teapaa. There is supposed to be nice snorkeling down there along with very pretty beaches.
[Later]
This sailmail didn't go out this morn so we will try one more time. We motored down through the lagoon with gusts of 20 kts blowing through the valleys as we passed them by. Visually, this island is beautiful, green on green, tropical and lush. The little niche we have found ourselves in is still windy but incredibly beautiful with a white sand beach and lots of snorkeling to be had once the wind dies, but the grid files show they may go on for three more days. We hope not. Right now it is blue and sunshiney. David is bummed because a charter boat just anchored too close in front of us, and we are always a bit tense when the weather is iffy. Hopefully all will calm down and again, and we will have another shitty day in paradise!
