(reminder- I havent read David's post.) Wowawewa!! This place is beautiful, i can see why David and Karin wanted to come back. We had a real taste of cruising (=fixing your boat in exotic places) with numerous repairs in Papate. Then a few hours sail to Moorea, supposedly the inspiration for "South Pacifiic." In Cook's Bay for two days. Calm...beautiful. Also had a nice drive around the island in a rental car. Went well until I tried to shift into 6th like my Honda (was a five speed transmission.)
then, took bro' Randy to ferry so he could leave for Thatie\Honolulu.
This am left and came to another anchorage. Was interesting as windless (equipment which hauls chain back into boat) malfunctioned. Was 60'deep, with 200' chain.Was rough for Dave to haul up by hand, with some help from me and Linda's hands/arms in chair locker guiding chain into place. She did a great job as ran out in this anchorage without problem. In AM, at 0400 will get up and leave for Huahini, a12 hour trip and Linda's only sig ocean passage. Winds should be moderate. Very relaxing RE meals, etc. Is great to be here with David and Karin. It was all worth it!! Fred
