Apataki - Rangiroa

Mike Kalil

Nice sail diagonally across the atoll and out the NW pass. Once outside the wind was light, but filled quickly. We had to work to slow the boat down to time an arrival at Tiputa pass after sunrise. Still we were early for slack and went in with a couple knots of outgoing current and large standing waves. Stella handled it like a champ and we didn't even take any water on deck. Good overnight sail with deep downwind conditions and one jine. Quite rolly though!
