The alarm went off at 3am. A quick coffee and we set sail. The wind was anything from 90 to 140 degrees off our stern as we zigzagged through the slalom of bommies and reefs. Most of the time we maintained 7knts speed with lots of sail changes. It has been a 14 hour day to get to a sheltered bay in Haapia. There is some high winds and rain coming in the next few days so we wanted to be somewhere well protected.
On the way I tried fishing. It was only two minutes before the first strike. Unfortunately it didn’t stay on. Twenty minutes later I hooked a small blue finned tuna (52cm long). Tuna stakes and rice for dinner..
Take care at Ha,apai,Sharks.
