03.07.2017 – 13:00 UTC (2:00 AM local time) \/\/\/\/ S 18\u00b015.74′ – W 140\u00b014.68′ \/\/\/\/ 23 nm to Hao-Tuamotus <\/span><\/p>\n

\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\u00a0\u00a0 In some travelogs it is mentioned that the trip from the Gambiers to Hao took 7 days or longer. To me this seemed a bit long for only 460 nm linear distance. Yet this is our 6th travel-day and so far it is not certain if we will be able to enter the lagoon today. The nice ENE trade wind wasn’t lasting. We spent all day yesterday tacking against moderate NNW winds. With our old bulgy sails this was not much fun. Now the wind died down completely and we are motoring along the northern reef of Hao. By 8 AM we have to reach the only entry pass into the lagoon which is situated at the north-west because that is about the time when the only slack-water of today might occur. The bottlenecks of the Chilean channels, for example Paso Shag or Paso Kirke, seem harmless in comparison to what we might expect there. When the tide is falling for all outgoing water of the pretty large lagoon there is only this one quite narrow passage. On top the high swell of the Pacific washes additional water over the low reefs in the southeast into the lagoon with the result that there is always a higher water-level inside. The relevant guides mention „permanent outgoing water with up to 20 knots of current in unfavorable conditions“. We will see.<\/span><\/p>\n

\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\u00a0\u00a0 In mehreren Reiseberichten hatte ich gelesen, dass die \u00dcberfahrt von den Gambiers nach Hao 7 Tage oder l\u00e4nger dauerte. Das schien mir f\u00fcr 460 nm Luftlinie recht lang. Wie es so kommt, nun sind wir auch schon 6 Tage unterwegs und es ist nicht sicher, ob wir heute in das Atoll reinfahren k\u00f6nnen. Der ONO Passat blieb uns nicht lange erhalten, wir verbrachten den gestrigen Tag mit hart am Wind kreuzen gegen m\u00e4ssig starke NNW Winde. Mit unseren alten bauchigen Segeln blieben die gro\u00dfen Erfolgserlebnisse dabei aus. Nun ist der Wind fast ganz eingeschlafen und wir motoren an der Nordseite des Atolls entlang zum einzigen „Eingang“ in die Lagune im Nordwesten. Dort m\u00fcssen wir um 8 Uhr sein, um das kurze Stillwasser, wenn es denn \u00fcberhaupt eins gibt, zu erwischen. Die Engstellen in den Chilenischen Kan\u00e4len, wie z.B. Paso Shag oder Paso Kirke klingen harmlos im Vergleich zu dem was uns dort erwartet. Bei fallender Tide muss das gesamte Wasser der grossen Lagune durch diese eine Engstelle hinaus. Weiterhin sp\u00fclt der recht hohe Pazifikschwell st\u00e4ndig Wasser \u00fcber das niedrige s\u00fcd\u00f6stliche Riff, so dass die Lagune eigentlich immer einen h\u00f6heren Wasserstand als der umgebende Pazifik hat. In den Reisef\u00fchrern ist daher von „st\u00e4ndig auslaufendem Wasser mit in ung\u00fcnstigen F\u00e4llen bis zu 20 Knoten Str\u00f6mung“ die Rede. Wir sind gespannt.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
