We arrived here on the island of Tahuata last
Friday. We are anchored in a dream bay, Hana Moe Na. Turquoise water, sandy
beach, palm trees, coconuts and plenty of sealife.
This is a little paradise, hence we are still
here!
Catherine and Alain from PULSION followed us. We
had a few parties again! Yesterday afternoon we had a BBQ on the beach. Good fun
except for the hungry mosquitoes!
Snorkelling is good: sharks, turtles, loads of
coloured fish, raies...
However, we have to move on to keep our
deadline for our arrival in Tahiti so we will be sailing off tomorrow to
the Tuamotus, 500nm from here. We expect to be 3 and a half days at
sea.
We have some problems with our watermaker and
have to be very careful with our fresh water. Washing up will be made on deck in
sea water from now on!
Mike has a bit of a tummy bug and is a bit
grumpy... Let's hope all will be better soon!
Otherwise, all is well and life is
good.
Love
Catherine and Mike
