Huahine
Relatively untouched by tourism, Huahine's relaxed atmosphere and beautiful
scenery kept us enthralled for weeks.
Sand castles and rope swings entertain the kids for hours on end.
Eva from 3T offered to give all the kids an art lesson on the beach. All
the boats now have new paintings to hang.
Chores like laundry and provisioning take up a fair amount of
time.
We borrowed a portable washing machine to do a big wash one day on the back
deck.
Friends make this trip memorable.
Dolphins and Ocean Breezes have become regular traveling companions whether by
dinghy or on a passage.
Local people have been more than generous with the bounty of fruit that grows in
their backyards.

Amphibious kids.
See
if you can see Anna half way up the trail there in the middle. Astrid,
Dave, Anna, Alex, Helen & Pete went for a fantastic hike up two of the three
peaks on Bora Bora.
Finally, after a year of searching for one, someone had a blown out spinnaker for Pete to salvage. After 8
hours of sewing and patching, we're all set up for light air downwind sailing.
Anchored in beautifully clear water.
Sailing inside the lagoon.
Ready to head further west and out of French Polynesia.
