Easy day

July 17, 1830
Moored off of Bora Bora YC

Aloha Everyone, this will be short and sweet, as our day was. We had a great dinner at Bloody Mary's and a nice, quiet sleep. After a few minor projects this morning, we went around Motu Toopua, anchored for awhile, off the SE corner and took dinghy to shallow area and snorkeled. The water is so clear and warm. We then continued back in Ho'o around the motu, actually, not a motu, but part of the old rim of the crater of the volcano that formed the island. We went on to Bora Bora YC where we picked up a mooring which we had reserved, good thing, as they were full up. After cleaning ourselves up, it rained a bit and we were below, played some games, and read. We are now ready to head in for dinner. Luckily, the rain has cleared for the time being. Tomorrow, if we have good weather, we will head to other side for some more snorkeling. It looks like Sunday would be a good day to head back to Taaha/Raiatea, as the wind is forecast to back, providing a better angle, instead of on the nose. Lets hope so! All for now, Aloha, David and Karin
