We reach the lagoon of Huahine through the straights of Avapeihi
(right). Once we're in the lagoon defined by surrounding coral
reefs, the waters surface is calm, but there are a few very strong
currents, especially near the straights.

First we drop anchor in front of a beautiful beach near the
picturesque main village called Fare.
|
The people here are very friendly and the island is very neat, so
the crews of SILVER BLUE and of DEZIBEL decide to rent a car for
one day, to explore the islands inlands as well. Their apprentice
sailors Antoine and Alice also seem rather interested.

|
Apart from the magnificent views we're presented with, there are
a few interesting things to discover - amongst others a small river
where eels with blue eyes live. |
 |
|
 |
On this island, as on other Polynesian islands there are old cult
sites to be seen, but that much culture does make one hungry - especially
our two small adventurers. So we're onto the beach, quickly preparing
some food on the cars bonnet, closely watched by Antoine. |

|
In the afternoon we buy a nice pice of swordfish from a fisherman
and on sunday we turn that into a tasty fish barbecue.
|
Well, there are more pretty places on Huahine - the island really
is enchanting - and therefore, next week, we'll report from here again.
Until then ... take care!
Tom, Nela & Antoine
