Your video looks terrific. Great inspiration on a rather bleak winters day here in northern NSW, Australia. Well, bleak for us Aussies anyway - yesterdays epoxy didn't cure fully overnight - how bad is that...! Cheers Klaus
Hello Alf
A few days ago we were in FatuHiva and now we are waiting in Apataki to put our Tiki46 on the ground for a few days to check the botom : little damage on one skeg and to add anti fouling paint where it is missing.
What is your plan? Us we stay here about 2 weeks (very nice if no north wind) and we'll continue to Tahiti and other leeward islands before to continue to the Tonga and New Caledonian.....
Hoping to have the pleasure to meet you if we cross our routes.
