Up at O dark hundred (0430 AM) to catch the early flood out the passage. 235 NM to Tahiti,final destination. Back to passage mode. Always takes a couple of days to adjust to sailing/sleeping/ and watch keeping. Transiting the pass went w/o incident, but you could see the small waves that are created when the outgoing tide hits the wind. They say htat is the real danger when the swell is big and winds have been blowing from the same direction over a certain speed the standing waves in these passes can literally knock a boat down and spin it around. This time A-ok. The trip is a bit longer than Rangiroa to Papeete as we are about 50 miles further east, so 2 more nights at sea. There are still a few small atolls to keep an eye out for, but once we pass them next stop Papeete, crossroads of the S. Pacific.
