What a crossing! Somebody (who shall remain nameless - we will just call him Bigfoot) said that the wind and waves were going to just lay right down by the time we reached the Tuamotos. 39.5 knots of wind is 'not' considered calm! And waves actually breaking on the cabin are not considered small. Now in Bigfoot's defense he did not define what light wind and small waves were defined as. Next time I'll be sure to ask.
We ended up sailing the last two days with only the Genoa as the main would pop out of the track within a couple of hours raising it. The last time it popped out it was just two rough to go back up and repair it. There were also many, many squalls with rain, and plenty of wind.
Now it is time for some incredible diving and beach time.
Courage
