The EJ's Voyage

We arrived here on the island of Tahuata last Friday. We are anchored in a dream bay, Hana Moe Na. Turquoise water, sandy beach, palm trees, coconuts and plenty of sealife.
 
This is a little paradise, hence we are still here!
 
Catherine and Alain from PULSION followed us. We had a few parties again! Yesterday afternoon we had a BBQ on the beach. Good fun except for the hungry mosquitoes!
 
Snorkelling is good: sharks, turtles, loads of coloured fish, raies...
 
However, we have to move on to keep our deadline for our arrival in Tahiti so we will be sailing off tomorrow to the Tuamotus, 500nm from here. We expect to be 3 and a half days at sea.
 
We have some problems with our watermaker and have to be very careful with our fresh water. Washing up will be made on deck in sea water from now on!
 
Mike has a bit of a tummy bug and is a bit grumpy... Let's hope all will be better soon!
 
Otherwise, all is well and life is good.
 
Love
Catherine and Mike
