Still in Bora Bora, but the weather has improved in that it is sunny and much less wind.I even got sunburn when working on the aft deck. So we decided to stay a bit longer in this gorgeous spot on the south-east of the island. We went snorkeling yesterday and could not believe the clarity of the water, the best we have ever seen. There was not that much to see even though it was rated as the best snorkeling in Bora Bora. Duncan did see eight spotted eagle rays after I had given up.
So we are looking at the weather and wait for some more wind for our four day passage to Raratonga. Yeh, yeh the wind never seems to be there when you want it. We will go back to the Bora Bora Yacht Club and do some provisioning and get water and move on west, finally leaving French Polynesia.
