Day 37 ~ 13,225 Miles, Moorea

Day 37 ~ 13,225 Miles

Just when I thought I’d seen the most beautiful place on earth, we arrive in Moorea, Society Islands, French Polynesia aka The Tahitian Islands. The white sand beaches and the multi-hued lagoons are so striking against the emerald colored jagged peaks. The clouds seem to dance across the island providing for a kaleidoscope of colors and shadows. The “shark tooth” mountain or Mt. Moua Roa stands at 2,499 feet above the sea and continuously draws focus towards her.

We spent the day sailing around the island on a catamaran and stopped for a cooling swim in an amazing snorkeling spot. Thank God for SPF 110.

We, and by ‘we’ I mean Katie, did need to battle the manspreading technique of an extremely rude German man and his equally rude wife, little did they know whom they were up against...never underestimate a Dougherty woman!

We have a sunset arrival in Papeete where we will dock overnight.Read more
