Rangiroa

Rosehearty needed a good clean up, a little TLC and some prep for the this charter.We enjoyed the time in Papeete moving to refuel in town from Marina Tania on Friday  the 7th. We departed on Monday towing Ze Bubbles our Dive (Big) Tender. We arrived in Rangiroa to be greeted by an outgoing 8 knot tide caused by waves breaking over the far side of the lagoon (30 miles away) and this pass is one of only 2 exits for the water. Rangiroa is the 2nd biggest Atol on the planet so there is lots of water to get out.. When the swell is high. At Full power we were doing 4-5 knots over the ground... It does not look like much..from the outside and max elevation here is 10m...The Trees are taller.
