Through the Maupiti Pass and into Paradise
Time lapse going into Maupiti. The pass is rather notorious, but we picked a good day with a forecast 1.5m swell and not much wind. Still it was very exciting with big waves breaking quite close either side of us. But we followed the Two Drifters “How not to get shipwrecked on the Reef” video (thanks guys) to the tee and made it safely through. The whole place is very scenic and we can’t wait to go visit the manta rays tomorrow morning. But now for a beer.Time lapse going into Maupiti.
