June 23 - Fakarava south pass - It finally happened...


We've owned Infini for about twelve years and we finally had someone come up to us and recognize her from when her previous owners, Chris and Laura, from whom we bought the boat, had circumnavigated during their four years of ownership. Joanie and Guy, presently on their 49' Trintella named Pickles, along with their four children, had previously (before kids) owned a boat named Forte, and they and Infini kept meeting up in various parts of the world. We've always wondered if anyone would recognize Infini from her previous time around, and it's taken us this long to have that question answered! Meanwhile, we're waiting for a favorable weather window to leave Fakarava so we can gain some easting in order to turn towards the Marquesas (NE). It's been blowing mostly from the E-NE, so we'll wait for the SE winds, expected in the next couple of days, to return before departure.
