Day 10 (Thu) - Headin home from Tahiti

Thursday, June 27, 2013

Packed up early to head back.  Looked around in the daylight to see where we really ended up from the long day before...

--> Sailed back to base at Dream Yacht Charters

After taking 1 more jump in the ocean at the marina, we had some of our friends fill the boat with gas and perform the final dock of the Albinoni at the base!

--> Moored the Cat one last time at the Raiatea Yacht Club -- Home Base

Spent the day at the Hawaiki Nui hotel

Link to map of our hotel at Hawaiki Nui

-- Swam in the pool 

-- Took nice warm showers!!!!!!

-- Ate an "awesome" 3 cheese (we think) pizza

Flew out of Raiatea around 4:30 to head to Huahine, and then Papeete

Flew from Papeete to LAX and then back to Sac/Austin

-- Beat Bruce back home on Friday afternoon:-)
