It’s been a busy 10 days with little time to sit at the computer.  We’ve had David’s daughter Charlotte and husband Colin on board.....hence the busy days.   We circumnavigated Moorea, headed over to Tahiti for a look and to meet a dentist’s appointment (third broken tooth in as many years)....and then back to beautiful Cook’s Bay in Moorea.   We’ve swum with stingrays, sharks, snorkelled on the coral, enjoyed the lovely towns ashore, had happy hours at beachfront bars, watched traditional Tahitian dancing and generally had a ball.  It’s been absolutely fantastic.

 

We’re now about to lift anchor and head back to Papeete.  I’m flying out to NZ on the same flight as Charlotte and Colin to have a few days with mum.  David will stay in Papeete and work on Bandit.
