Marquesas - Tuamotus Day 4 .. ARRIVED

We managed to sail day with good winds and on into the night. We dropped the mainsail at sunset to reduce speed and continued to reef the genoa until we had just a scrap up. We timed the arrival well though and sailed to within 1 mile of the entrance arriving at 7am. Russ (from Christine Anne)and Ray (From Sunchaser) came out in a dinghy to guide us through the reef. We dropped the anchor just after 7:30am. The atol is stunning, many motus (small islands all connected together by reef) forming an elliptical lagoon over 20 miles long. Relaxing today - boat jobs tomorrow!
