To Cook’s Bay, Moorea, Society
Islands, French Polynesia
 So we finally say farewell to Tahiti,
leave the mooring ball at nearly eleven, feeling not a breath of wind. The
weekend party boats were out in their number which
made for a lovely sight.
 This beauty has her own coconut tree.
 The channel
through the reef.
 Looking back at
the mooring field.
 To our
left.
   To our right,
surf breaks over the coral.
 A chap bids us
farewell.
 Clear of the reef the wind is all of five knots and the sea
looks like a duck pond, motoring
then....
 Moorea getting
closer.
 Beez just about to turn
left on the map.....
 ...........which means the gap between the hills.
 An aerial view of
Moorea.
  Catamarans at
anchor just outside the entrance on our left and to our right people cooling off in the shallow water.
  A modest
house until you see it’s half way up a steep
hill.
 The Bay, we see four masts and take in the impressive
view.
 
   One of the most beautiful bays we have
seen.
 Nearing the anchorage we see Alexes.
 The guide book said to
head for the church, there are two as next door neighbours.
  As we anchor we look up to see this
house right at the top, what a view they must
have.
 Settled, Dave and
Jenny come over, it’s after three, must be beer o’clock
then.
 ALL IN ALL THE MOST DRAMATIC
BACKDROP
STUNNING AND VERY QUIET
