Apu Bay, Tahaa
Island
 Bear set us off at half past twelve,
he is now on a mission to circumnavigate Tahaa Island and I cannot think of a
good reason to stop him. To my reckoning the whole thing, including our initial
detour to Naonao Island is the princely sum of forty three miles, well we put four under our belts today, speak for
yourself skipper, I’m looking forward to Faaaha (that’s
a lot of a’s) and Patio.......... Here we are settled in Apu Bay, easy to type. We tried four times to
anchor in the slightly shallower water of forty feet, but the anchor kept
bobbling along over coral. Nothing for it but to bite the bullet and drop in the
mud some ninety feet below. All nestled, late lunch and our first internet since
leaving Huahine.
  To our left Toapuhi Island. No closer as a massive
hard coral bed.
 To our
right, just in front of the horizon is the coral shelf. Just in view on
the far left is Raiatea. This picture cannot show the wind. Gusts between seven
and twenty eight knots, all over the place in direction – wouldn’t want to be
out at sea that’s for sure.....
 Ahead. A
tiny village giving us a fairly good internet signal - afternoon planned,
emailing and blogging.
