Passing the leeward islands of French Polynesia, Bora Bora, Tahaa, and Raiatea visible about 30 miles off to starboard. Expect we will have to tack northward as we approach Hauhine, then run through the night the last hundred miles or so to Tahiti itself.
We're ready to get there; out of fresh stuff, clean stuff, and even running low on beer and coffee. The sailing itself has been great the past few days, some mildly intimidating weather we've had to work through, some time crunch to push us to navigate efficiently, and a lot of straight up tropical brochure conditions
