CW 10 2005

07.03. - 13.03. 2005

Since Huahine really is so beautiful we decided to stay for the rest of the week. The island is just too enchanting and still so natural.

We've anchored at the beautiful beach of Haarimea where we always take the babies to splash around in the late afternoon, and where we enjoy a small "sundowner" at a nice bar. The people there are very friendly and as we ask where we could buy some fresh fruit they hand us two bunches of bananas as gifts.

  

We enjoy the days here and it also is a good spot to get some of the last unfinished things done to the ship. And Nela spends those moments when our little sailor sleeps to paddle around a bit.

  



At the end of the week we return to the main village Fare. We occupy a great viewing spot - a fun regatta from Raiatea to Huahine and Tahaa has a stopover at our anchoring spot. It's quite a lot of fun, especially since some of our friends are also participating and about 30 ships suddenly visit our tranquil anchoring spot.

  


On Sunday we start returning to Raiatea and a nice soft breeze with beautiful sunshine make a magnificent day for sailing.
In the lagoon, on our way to the anchoring site, we come across a weird kind of housing - someone really set up camp on a reef. Well, they'll definitely not have any problems with neighbors …

Next week there'll be more from Raiatea and Tahaa.
Until then ... take care!

Tom, Nela & Antoine
