Has the Lord of Stress and Time Tables found us?

Monday we are invited to take part in a ceremony in Marae Taputapuatea, a sacred place on the island Raiatea, west of Tahiti. The site has the largest and best preserved temples, and is among the most sacred in Polynesia. In ancient times, this was the place for sacrifices (also thousands of humans), and the place locals received important guests. In modern times, replicas of the old canoes have made stops here.
For us, this is an important tradition, and we are honored to continue it. But appointments are not easy to keep when you go by raft. We made it for the big one in Raroia, just in time. Now we need more wind to keep our next. If you go by plane northwest from Tahiti you will find us after about 160 km. The last days have been without much progress, but we manage to go a few meters to the west, every minute.
