We did all the necessary things in Papeete, like
sail makers, hardware stores and chandlers. Did some more provision shopping and
sightseeing. It was very frustration at times as the Polynesians do not need
much of an excuse to close their business. I also managed to have my hair cut
and get a Polynesian tattoo. We decided to go back to Moorea to wait for
Ewan's crew to arrive this coming weekend. The anchorage is more quiet and the
water is cleaner to swim in, although I cannot swim for a week to let the tattoo
heal. So we'll carry on with jobs on the boat, both technical and domestic in
these beautiful surroundings. There are a good few boats here that we have met
before somewhere along the line so it is also very sociable.
We will stay here until next weekend, go back to
Papeete to pick up Jeremy and Mao and check out with port officials. On Monday
we will split up: Logic will go to Raratonga and we will go to
Huahine.
