Iorana Rapa Nui ( Bye Easter Island)
We left the anchorage about 9am after the officials were finished and have been motor sailing with mizzen and staysail.
The hospitality of the Rapa Nui people was incredible. We delivered the Yacht Aid Global supplies to the school on Friday presenting it to the Headmaster who was very grateful and gave us a tour of the school showing us how they are slowly developing it. We were also presented Rapa Nui key rings and a medal of honor from the school. It is a new school that has only been open 4 years and has made great progress.
We now have 2100 miles to sail to Puerto Montt which should take about 8 days.
