A crew sailing a cruising boat from Tahiti toward the Tuamotus encounters rapidly shifting wind conditions, including a 38-knot squall that necessitates triple-reefing the mainsail and reefing the jib.13:23 During the three-day passage, the crew manages wind speeds ranging from calm to 30 knots, utilizing both a heavy-duty "og" sail for squally weather and a larger "WeeSail" sail for lighter conditions.12:00 While navigating, the crew observes significant tuna activity but struggles to hook fish while maintaining a slow speed of approximately three knots.18:42 Upon arrival at the Tuamotus, the crew navigates into a shallow pass to pick up a mooring ball near the atoll.22:00 The passage concludes with plans for scuba diving and a subsequent 600-mile transit to the Marquesas Islands.26:31 The crew notes that maintaining a full freezer from previous provisioning efforts limited their ability to process fresh fish despite the high volume of tuna encountered during the transit.16:23
