West bound trip to Musket Cove. Sailed in a not so ideal sustained 35 kts of wind and 9’ seas to make it west before more weather rolls in. Blew the clue out of the main sail which is just a let down really!
I got out of Suva
First mahi in 6 months
A 1000nm 5-6 day trip to Beveridge Reef turned into a 1500nm 10 day trip to Tonga. Left Mo’orea with a good forecast of 7-18kts of wind. Unfortunately the conditions rapidly deteriorated at Beveridge reef and we changed plans and decided to head directly to Tonga. We also found all of the lowest ends of the wind forecast and had some really slow sailing the entire trip. Had some nice and relaxing days and had the spinnakers up for days on end. The squalls carried basically zero wind until the last couple of days. Lost the loud speaker on the mast. Did some very active sailing. Had to get ready of our baby plant before Tonga :( rip
Leaving French Polynesia tomorrow!
Had to sprint back to Tahiti to get our hydraulics fixed before leaving for the dangerous middle. Got really lucky ish and the day we had to head back there was zero wind BUT long 12’ rolling seas so it was a quick but uncomfortable trip. In Tahiti was able to get the boom off the boat, the hydraulic furler off the mast, and the hoses out and swapped in 24hrs. Biggest repair I have had to do on Azurite and it went decently well
