Kiritimati

We are anchored outside the Kiritimati lagoon (pronounce Kiritimassss), near the London village.
The water is clear, there is a radio station right on the beach.
The atoll seems very big.
The last day was very nice, sunny and everything, and the swell had dropped a bit.
Once again, we were early in the morning, we tacked two long 10 mile legs before approaching the anchorage.

On est mouille en dehors du lagon de Kiritimati (prononcer Kiritimassss), pres du village de London.
L'eau est claire, il y a une station de radio juste sur la plage.
L'atoll a l'air tres grand.
Le dernier jour etait tres bien, avec du soleil et tout et tout, et la houle etait tombee.
Une fois de plus, on etait en avance le matin, on a tire deux grands bords de 10 milles avant d'approcher le mouillage.
