Hi Bloggers,
 
Another frantic day of harbour movements, Fuel berths and back to a nice quite anchorage , last minute shop for the forgotten things then stow the boat for sea .. winds were every where and the boat was a bit of a handful in close quarters but all went well and we arrived at the anchorage outside the marina for the night , our original intention was to depart for Moorea  in the afternoon but two hrs at the fuel dock put paid to that , anyway after a restful night and a few beers on Rhythm we left the following morning for Moorea , this was a really bouncy ride with a 2.5 metre swell and no wind , after four hrs of that we arrived at Cooks bay Moorea, once behind the reef we were in a flat calm bay oh great joy !  droppedthe hook in 23m of water , another shallow anchorage , since the Marquasers these anchorage's seem to get deeper and deeper we have 90m of chain so that gives us some scope for these deep anchorage's ..
 Off to explore tomorow ashore !
