Offshore fishing competition

After having such an amazing time, we needed to head to Papeete in Tahiti to apply for an extension to our visas and to explore that area.

It is a nice short sail which is perfect to get us back into overnight passages again as we have only been doing day hops around Fakarava.

The boys create a fishing competition and we all have high expectations. You have to watch the video to see what the results are.

Departing Fakarava means exiting the North Pass. Our friends did this recently and had a bad experience. They thought they were going to flip their 45 ft catamaran. They made it through though but with water inside the boat and damaged electronics.
We prepare Mokara, close all the hatches and put on our life jackets. We have seen what these passes can be like if you get it wrong and it still surprises me that people do it without lifejackets on. If you get the timing wrong and fall in without a lifejacket I am pretty sure you will drown as a rescue by the yacht will be a serious challenge.

We hope you enjoy it along with the great music from Tunetank.
