Anchored Rangiroa

Pau Hana is safely anchored at:
S 14* 58'
W 147* 38'
221 nm from Papeete to Tiputa anchorage, .Rangiroa
We entered Avatoru Pass under calm conditions on a slight flood tide, so no burly standing waves and leaping dolphins like the last time we were here.
We couldn't arrive with only one night at sea, so we departed Tuesday at dusk and sailed at a comfortable slow pace and arrived at the pass at 0900 Thursday. One guy had the Avatoru surf break all to himself.
There is good diving at Rangiroa with a resident pod of Bottlenose dolphins that often investigate the divers.
Nap time.
