[status]Helen, Ngaire and her kids arrived last Sunday (Monday NZST) and after a day of shopping we moved across to Moorea. We stayed there for three days and fed the cuddly stingrays each morning. The black tip reef sharks, although very interested in the food, stayed out of reach. We were with three other boats that we know so it was a very social time much to the kids' delight. We left Moorea last Saturday (FP time) at 0300 and after landing a 2m short billed spearfish (the first I've seen) we arrived at Huahine in the Leeward islands at 1600. The wind has since risen to 20-25 knots from the ESE. We did a long snorkel over the sand shelf to the inside of the outer reef yesterday (Sunady FP time) which was good for the exercise but totally uninteresting then today we went ashore and explored Fare the main town. We can't find any reason to stay here so we're packed up ready to leave tomorrow morning for Tahaa about 20nm west of here.
