We arrived in Toau after a very slow, short sail using our gennaker for the first time in ages. Of course it got tangled up and twisted and took a long time to figure out again
The pass is tricky as it’s very shallow and open to the east (prevailing winds), but our timing was good.
Just after arriving we snorkeled between the passes, a real aquarium with lots of grey reef sharks.
Yesterday we’ve sailed down to the south of the lagoon for the more SE-erly wind and are anchored off a bird motu–only a few people live on Toau or visit from neighbouring Fakarava.
