A quarter to 0600 we lifted the hook.

It was a bit tricky because a monohull with nice Danish people where pretty close to our chain. Needed to prepare the fender for a last minute action to protect our boats.

Luckily, we did not come closer than 2 m and the wind didn’t change in the wrong direction.

With the anchor up we took course to the WPT BayOfVirginsCenterOut, a WPT I placed to get out of the lee effect of Fatu-Hiva and gain from the jet effect of the valley of Hanavave village..

As the wind is very weak, I made a shortcut and we’re motoring on course to Taiohae, Nuku-Hiva waiting for the wind to get a little bit stronger.

It feels as if it will be sneaking around the nothern corner of Fatu-Hiva…
