Hello everybody we are back on the move again this
time to an island in the Society Group called Huahine and then on to Bora Bora
,Raitatea and back to Tahiti before kicking off for Raratonga on the way to
Tonga
Huahaine is considered the least spoilt of the
major Society Islands.It is surrounded by a narrow lagoon inside a well
developed barrier reef and is in two parts .There are aprox 3200 people on the
islands with the major farm production being watermelons grown on the motus of
the reefs.There is also some pearl farming and fishing.It is supposed to be
pretty and is only about 20hrs sailing from Tahiti a short jaunt after some of
our journeys.
I am on watch at he moment but will send details of
our stay in Tahiti
