Beautiful new anchorage in Fakarava

Had a beautiful sail from North Fakarava down to the southeast corner of the atoll to a village called Harifa. We only had about 7-9 knots of wind for the 28 mile trip, but it still amazes me how well North Star sails inside the atolls where the water is perfectly flat. (Kim loves to sail inside the atolls) We averaged around 5 knots with the wind on the beam. Wx for tomorrow is increasing winds up to 25 knots for the next 5-6 days. We should be much more comfortable tucked in here. We will go ashore tomorrow morning to explore. Kim is asleep in her new hammock she just bought.
Everyone remember that we are away from real internet for the next week or so. Those who might need to reach us in an emergency know how, but we are now without real internet or cell phone for a while so don't get your feelings hurt if we don't answer for a while.
