A long Swell

L'Esprit de la Mer

I have now been tied to the shore for a week in the
comfortable Marina Taina.Across the walkway is the massive Sarissa (140ft) amd
then beyoyonf the reef Moorea which is a stunning sight across the blue
lagoon.
We have visited Papeete and shopped in the nearby
huge Carefour supermarket and are now ready to move on.This morning we met
briefly with Anne marie and Bernard(s/y Mariposa) whom we last saw 3yrs ago in
the Canaries.We breakfasted this morning with Stefan and mark our neighbours
from New Caladonia (in return for a supper of fresh Marlin)
But hte swell is rolling in from a depresssion
1500nm to the south of us and this is breaking on the reef and even making us
move a little in the marina so it may be a day or two yet.
