On the move again

We have left the Marquesas group and are headed for Makemo atoll of the Tuamotu Archipelago.
Politically this is still part of French Polynesia, but geographically very different than the volcanic peaks of Marquesas. It's about a 500 mile trip.

Course 192* M

Caught a nice tuna yesterday afternoon with one of our new lures from the Nuku Hiva hardware store.
We are enjoying sailing across the wind (beam reach) instead of downwind (running) as we did from the Galapagos.
If we're lucky we should enter the pass at Makemo at low tide at 1100 on Sunday the 17th.

Currently sunny and 85* wind is about 10 kts.
