Nexus - Safe arrival in Ahe, Tuamotus



Arrived safely this morning in Ahe, Tuamotus. We slow motored last night to ensure we arrived in the morning with Vivo. After checking out the inlet we decided to run it without waiting for slack tide as it seemed pretty straight forward so to speak. We motored through in a 3kt incoming tide and had it kick our tail out a bit in the last section where it turns left before entering the lagoon, but it was a fun ride with no problems. The channel down the interior lagoon to the town was well marked and the natives friendly! We found six other World ARC boats here and got together with many of them on Hebe, and we've arranged for a gathering on the dock this evening. For tomorrow we've set up a tour of a pearl farm where we will snorkel the pearls and tour the process of cultivating them with a local "farmer". For now, we're looking forward to a restful sleep.
