New Atoll, Please.

This morning we sailed to the NW corner of Makemo, dodging coral heads the whole way.
This is the downwind end of the lagoon, so the waves build over 30 miles to this point.
Luckily, we were able to anchor directly behind a patch of reef that blocks the waves.
We are now well staged to exit the lagoon and sail to Fakarava, 90 miles to the west.
We hope to depart in the early afternoon tomorrow and arrive at the south entrance to Fakarava around 10AM Thursday.
Currently:
S 16*27.2'
W 143* 57.9'
