Leaving Papeete, Tahiti -- heading for Raiatea -- 12+ hours of travel so far, just one more leg to go...
Went to the Dream Yacht Charter base just outside of Uturoa and got the 41' Catana Catamaran run through from Jerome (or was it Clouseau?)
He rattled off places to go - I think he mentioned every spot on the map as a good place to go, except on the island of Bora itself (natives aren't friendly - they aren't real Polynesians) -- Bruce, Kyle and I listened to Jerome but forgot to take notes...
Home for the next 10 days ----->>>>>
Dorrie, Chelsea and Cary went to the big town of Uturoa to provision the boat at Liaut supermarket, because Champion was closed (awesome French bread by the meter!!!).
Spent 10's of thousands of Franc's on lunch meat of unknown origin...
By the way, the Provisioning was EXCELLENT!!!!!
By the way, the Provisioning was EXCELLENT!!!!!
Got a ride back in the "French guys" van -- groceries delivered:-). Kyle and I went back later to get charcoal, death cubes, and more French bread (Apparently, Tahitian old men have right of way in the checkout line -- Especially if they have a Coke, a meter of French bread, and they know the cashier:). Ate another loaf on the walk back. Free Internet at the base:) -- magic jack is cooooooool. The ladies took showers before headin out (who needs hot water?).
This is a cool church between Uturoa and the base.
On the Albinoni and ready to set sail
Success!!!
We were less successful at making sure the fridge was turned on... Got to learn some-how...
Kyle "claims" an eel was eyeing him as an appetizer as we snorkeled around the boat.
Pacific water was MUCH warmer than the ladies shower earlier at the base!
First night on the boat-- rocked to sleep zzzzzzzzzz
