Moored off of MaiKai Marina

Aloha Everyone, a most delightful day! A most pleasant evening and a beautiful morning. Whats not to like about looking out from your boat and find you are sitting in a pool of turquoise clear water with a white sandy bottom. The sun rises over the lush green hills providing a wonderful contrast to the aqua color. The mountains are clear, which is unusual. We upped anchor (easy when in only 10') and motored back. It was a bit scary as we draw 6'4" and we were reading 5.2'. I guess I need to recalibrate my depth sounder! Anyway, we went by the Four Seasons and the girls waved to Jennifer Anniston. We came back to town, picked up a mooring and into marina. We walked to town and checked on the engine which was ready. We completed our errands, did some shopping, and Jane changed her flight. We paid the engine repairman and they drove me back to the marina with the engine. It worked well. Once back to the boat, I noticed a gorgeous new boat, 135', Destination. I grabbed Karin and we took off to check it out. First time I have been confident with the outboard to do that. We had another great meal at the MaiKai Marina and will head back to Tahaa tomorrow. Looks like we will be lucky with some Southerly breeze. That's all for now. Aloha, David and Karin PS I finally out what I needed to do to get some pictures out. Will try to send a few more in a day or so.
