Lady Kay set off today bound for the Tuamotos and then Tahiti. We have two new crew members Debbie and Steve who have joined us for the trip to Tahiti, since Kerry and Jackie had to return home to attend Jackie's mother's funeral. Jackie is planning to rejoin the boat in Tahiti but Kerry sadly has to go back to work.

We plan to go first to an atoll called Kauehi where we should arrive in about three days time.

The weather is good and we are making good progress at about 7 knots. Yesterday we went to some amzing waterfalls on Nuka Hiva. this involved fording two rivers this is the first ford the second was more scary involving hangin on to a log to cross the raging torrent - well fairly raging anyway. The waterfalls themselves are hidden in a deep cleft in the mountains and drop from about 200 feet down sheer cliffs. The site is very spectacular, with lots of archeological sites - old villages etc on the way

All the best

Michael, Debbie and Steve
