We left Bora Bora
today shortly after 10am.
Yesterday was
good as we celebrated Diana's birthday. In the evening we went to a fairly
famous restaurant called Bloody Mary's.
Food is all laid
out when you arrive and there are all sorts of fresh deep sea fish to choose.
Tuna, Wahoo, Mahi Mahi, Moon fish etc some with marinades and it is all cooked
fresh on a large open grill.
They made a small
chocolate soufflé with a candle on it for Diana and she was
delighted.
I am 90% sure
that the people sitting at the next table to us were Goran Ivanesevic and his
wife.
If you eat there
you can have a 'free' mooring overnight and water to fill the
tanks.
Our watermaker
has been playing up a bit so we were glad to be able to leave with a full
tank.
Next stop
Roratonga in the southern Cook Islands. Hope to get there
Friday.
Still Polynesian
people, no longer French administration but a loose association with New
Zealand, so 1/3 the price hopefully.
French Polynesia
is one of the most expensive places I have ever been.
£3.50 for a small
can of beer!
Robert says it is
more expensive than St Moritz.
Roratonga has
beer at 60p a can.
Tomorrow a
frontal system will face us and winds may be quite strong but hopefully on the
beam so fast exhilarating sailing may be in store.
Can't upload any
photos at the moment but will try to at the next shorebased internet
connection.
