A single day's range
At 20-25 knots, Cook’s and Opunohu bays on Moorea, the lagoon passes and the coral gardens fit into one day — that is the whole point of the format. Boarding: the Taina marina at Punaauia and Papeete harbour.
Fuel and safety margin
Fuel burn rides on the throttle: on these waters, the south-east trade wind — the maraamu — freshening markedly in the austral winter, and a homeward leg into the wind burns more — keep a third of the tank for the end of the day.
