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 !
