We finally came into the bay and anchored under
assistance from a couple of dinghies from boats already here which waas a big
help. Arrived just in time for Bastille day celebrations and displays of local
singing and dancing which went on all weekend. Since then we have been waiiting
for a new starter motor to arrive from Australia and passing teh time in walks,
car and pick up tour of the islands few roads, reading etc.
The starter motor finally arrived on the island
yesterday and should be on the boat early afternoon for fitting so hopefully it
is the right one and everything works so that we can move out of the bay
tomorrow and see another spot or two on our way to the Tuomotos and onwards to
Tahiti.
The island is very expensive and has limited
attractions apart from the scenery which is fantastic, some of the bays are only
accessible by boat and so the stay has dragged a bit. On the other hand we
are fairly well up to date with boat jobs!
