Still in Makemo - 24/05/09.

Position 16 degrees 26S, 143 degrees 56W.
We left the north eastern anchorage yesterday heading for Fakarava, but the wind was very light so we sailed slowly along the outside of the reef, then timed our entry into the north western pass of Makemo, and anchored here. There is no village here so its extremely quiet, tranquil and very beautiful. It was difficult to find a spot to anchor as the light was fading and there were huge rocks and reefs everywhere, we think we found a patch of sand to bury the anchor...........let's hope we don't get the chain wrapped around a coral head (happens a lot here!).
