De Hao à Makemo. Ma bourgeoise qui gémit ! ! Vous allez vite comprendre 😅 🦭 les Haters!

#220 ✍️This passage was trying, but Blacky is fine, no damage! To maintain our navigation connection, we enabled "mobile priority" in "my profile" and "data usage" on our Starlink app. But this is only possible because we sold our antenna to ourselves. Let me explain: when we purchased our Roam antenna, called a campervan antenna, in Saint-Martin, we activated it in the Caribbean zone, with a monthly subscription corresponding to around 100 euros per month. It did its job without any problems all the way to Panama. From there, still activating "mobile priority," we had internet throughout our entire Pacific crossing, although there was an inconsistency regarding the gigabytes; they seemed to be overcharged compared to our actual consumption. Upon arriving in the Marquesas, no longer being in the same "continental zone," the standard subscription was no longer available; we had to pay 100 euros per month, plus 2 euros per gigabyte. So we had to find a way to return to a reasonably priced subscription. Since the service wasn't yet authorized in French Polynesia, we were located by our antenna in New Zealand, and to find a "regional mobile" service, we decided to change continents, and that's when the "sale" of the equipment came into play. To do this, we canceled our subscription, then took out a new one with a new address in "transfer my Starlink priority" and found a Roam subscription at 100 euros per month, plus 2 euros per gigabyte when we were sailing. Upwind of Makemo, my captain knew it! We were going to be subjected to waves, undertow, and current. He doesn't like that! Neither does Blacky! With 17-20 knots of wind, we could be under code 0 and mainsail. As a result of the conditions, we are under jib and 2 reefs until everything calms down. They too will have to calm down! Those are our haters! I know I shouldn't pay attention to them, ignore them, block them. That's what I do, I ban them from our pages, but first, I must have read their hateful comments! They must have agreed on our last post about Hao's pass. The whining bourgeois they say! All because I was scared! "They're not going to go around the world anytime soon, those two!" Idiots, we're on our second! Yes, we've never been through Finistère in Brittany. We've never faced its famous eight-kilometer-wide Raz de Sein and have never defied its tidal currents, which can reach 7 knots! So yes, of course, we can't compare ourselves and call ourselves great sailors since we've never been there, but our small, tiny experience has still taken us to South Africa via the Cape of Good Hope, crossed the Indian Ocean twice, and today, taken us through the Kaki Pass, which can reach not 7 but 25 knots of current! From one atoll to the next, from one pass to the next, you have to calculate, estimate, interpret, and not make a mistake about the entry time. We don't remember being so stressed the first time! Were we unconscious, or did the Kaki Pass really traumatize us? To be in the right time slot, there's no way we can let the current slow us down! We have to start the engine, cover miles, and move forward at all costs. This current is not innocent in the two nice bites that made us hope to catch a swordfish! In the current, the fish are celebrating! We see Makemo. Only a few miles left. Now it's certain, we'll arrive with the last rays of the sun. Just in time, the pass is mild. I'm controlling myself, my Tchoupi is controlling Blacky perfectly. The anchorage is calm! We've found our friends, our "stopgaps," a delivery from Marina and Germain for them.
