We just drop anchor in an absolutely beautiful bay in Apataki Atoll. We left Manihi Atoll yesterday around 4:45 pm local time for our overnight trip to Apataki Atoll. We had a fantastic sail all the way with calm seas and 10 to 13 knots of wind on the beam. We did well, made the 78 nm within 12 hours. A strong current was against us as we entered the pass to the Atoll, so we moored the boat at the wharf next to the village around 8:00 am this morning. We did some exploring and a small provisioning, not much here as far as groceries. We waited until 1:00 pm for the current to turn and be more in our favour. We motored for another 10 nm in the Atoll to the south eastern corner of the Atoll where they have a small boat yard. The water is so clear, looks like a swimming pool, a person just wants to jump in. Tomorrow we will get the dinghy in the water and do some exploring.
