Raiatea

After breakfast, we set sail for the island of Raiatea. It was nearly a four hour full sail with the aid of the twin 110 hp Volvo Penta engines. We averaged 8 knots, & trolled the entire way. No fish again. The last half hour of the sail was breathtakingly beautiful. The water was many different shades of green & blue, & the shoreline was thoughtfully built up. No big mega resorts here. We snorkelled on a shallow reef & were dropped off at a tiny island to explore & wade around in the shallows. We motored to an anchorage just off of the small island of Taha’a where we enjoyed a delicious dinner buffet with traditional music, dancing & fire eating/juggling. We stayed at anchor off of Taha’a tonight.Okumaya devam et
