Joined up again with Northern Rose and Mambo
mooring balls here at 16.40.95S, 151.29.17W on Tahaa. Water really clear. The
Captain on one of the Charter Cats had spent time with Jim and maked on a map
places to visit here including a Coral garden. Pat and Glen left before us as
did Mambo but we decided we would stay so that we could go to the garden. This
meant a short sail to the top of the island near the hotels where you anchor,
dingy ashore (in our repaired dingy) which we did. It was a bit rolly and very
deep. The garden was lovely just a few feet deep so you could walk through the
outcrops and swim/snokle other bits. We took our underwater camera which after a
few pics stopped working. It had leaked at 3' deep and is supposed to work at
30m. We were very disappointed as its not been used much but would be coming in
to its own on this leg of our journey.
When we returned to the boat we found we'd lost the
hook off our anchor snubber and as we were in 10m or more I'm afraid it was
claimed by Neptune. We returned to the mooring bouy for the night.
You can see Bora Bora from this island so we only
had a short hop there. Left Tahaa on 31 August at 6.00am and arrived in Bora
Bora at 11.30am.
