George had already given a most precious indication in NavList [12591] on

The position given, at the foot of the page, for "Omahareno" harbour,
within Passe Rautoanui at the NW corner of Ulieres (more commonly named
Raiatea), can be compared with modern values from Google Earth.

You can also fully confirm George's indications here :

Now, when you return to Google Earth, you easily recognise the Ohamaneno 
area and without almost any doubt (George could fully confirm here since he 
might have the appropriate nautical chart(s) of the area) the Vessel was 
anchored very close from position S 16°45'36" and E 208°30'20". Given the 
geography of this site, this position is most probably determined within 
less than ONE nautical mile error.

They were adequately sheltered there from the trade winds (from the East) 
and George could confirm or refute this statement.

Sorry I haven't been able to respond until now. I am sure that's the spot. 
And it corresponds with John Robson's map which he gives in his "Captain 
Cook's World), which I attach.

George.
