If you're watching the tracker you'll see we've spent all day getting no closer to Papeete, but pushing east (actually a little north too). No way around this, Tahiti just a bit too far upwind of us to do in one tack. Around sunset we hope to have made enough upwind progress to be able to head for Tahiti in a single tack from that point.
