July 7, 2004... On the morning of July 7, we were still experiencing wind and rain from the cold front that had passed through overnight. The sky cleared, but when we departed Bora Bora at 1500 the true wind speed was 32 knots from the southeast. For ADAGIO, these were perfect conditions for a speedy passage.
As expected for a crossing of the ITCZ we had iffy winds sandwiched by good winds at both ends of the passage. Our best day's run was 223nm, best surfs were a bit over 14kn. Except for the goofy squalls in the ITCZ this was a memorable passage!
