The 5th Rei was in day 260 (September 17) and 180 days after March 21. The northern summer - if measured out as 360 / 2 days - had come to an end, but south of the equator on Easter Island it was the opposite. The Sun had moved across the equator from his winter maid to his summer maid.

There were 2 months (59 days) from Naos to September 17:

These 59 days were possibly compared to the time from January 1 up to and including the end of February. Argo Navis exhibited its stern because it illustrated the last part of the previous year. At dawn the prow of the Sun Ship had been entangled in a kind of 'net'.

... he gathered all the coconut husks of his land and rolled the fibre, and he plaited it into ropes of very great strength. But these ropes also were of no use, for the sun-god made them frizzle up. Therefore Maui took the sacred tresses of his sister Hina, he cut off lengths of Hina's hair and plaited it, to make a rope whose mana could not be destroyed by Ra. He took that noose of Hina's hair, he travelled eastward to the border of the sea; he placed his ropes around the pit from which the sun rises, waited there, he waited for the dawn. Then Ra came up, he came up from the spirit-world which lies in the east. Maui pulled the cord, he caught the sun-god by the throat! Ra struggled, kicked, he screamed against the sky. 'Then will you go more slowly if I turn you loose?' The sun then promised Maui, 'Let me go, and I will move more slowly, I will make longer days for your fishing'. Since that time, men have had longer days in which to go about their work ...
