To Faaroa Bay, Raiatea Island,
French Polynesia
 We left Huahine this morning at nine
for the twenty three mile journey to Raiatea Island. John and Sukanya
(Millennium) used their sails more in the light winds and took this
picture of Beez Neez as we overtook with the help of
the engine. Thank you John.
 Raiatea in
view.
 Bora Bora,
in the far distance.
 Very
peaceful.
 Our path took us through a gap in the reef.
 Easy, with such well maintained navigation
buoys.
 In places the reef was
very wide.
 I was thrilled to see
waves breaking.
 A motu to our left, chalets with
quite some view, everything the South Pacific should look like.
 Almost past the huge motu at the opening to the pass.
 The view to our right – very different
in black and white.
 As we entered the bay - on the chart plotter and in reality.
  A parsey house
and a one careful owner.
 Scenery along the
valley.
 Looking
back, the water track left by Beez.
 Further back, Millennium between the motus.
 
 The
“cul-de-sac” ahead, anchored in shallow water
and the village to our left. Unspoilt beauty.
 ALL IN ALL SUCH AMAZING
SCENERY
WONDERFUL TO GO THROUGH THE
REEF |
