June 17th – Tuamotus Bound

Hello to all friends and family

We departed Daniels Bay after spending the morning getting good water
there. We are currently on our 500 mile sail heading toward the island
of Katiu in the Tuamotus. This is an Island I visited 15 years ago with
many fond memories and extraordinary experiences. One of which I hope
not to repeat which was cutting off the tip of my left thumb with a
machete while helping to harvest copra. But that’ another story to tell
another day.

Just had dolphins swimming off the bow for a few minuets no jumps but
beautiful to watch.

Love Jim
