[weather] glassy wind and seas , intermittent showers 30 degrees
[status] after waking up in our idyllic anchorage ( prob the best of the trip) we saw that the wind had swung more to the South and we would lay across to Huahine -25 nm away so we set sail at 6.30 am and had a good sail in 10-14 knots of wind pulling into Fare before midday to see Surreal 2 anchored so we found a spot and anchored up as well.
The skies opened up and heavy rain set in so I set up our water catchment system and collected another 200 litres so our tanks were full.
Just as we were about to go ashore Wendy developed chest pains and was v uncomfortable plus short of breathe - was rather disturbing to watch - we took her BP and pulse and all was normal. I shot ashore and found the local Gendarme , related what had happened - he made a call and we agreed to meet on the dock in 10 mins. This was Saturday afternoon and everything was closed. 10 mins later with Wendy I arrive at the dock in the tender to have 3 ambulance crew greet us plus 2 gendarmes who helped her to an ambulance then took us to a medical centre - being Saturday they had to get the doctor out from home - he arrived and set up an ECG and did other tests then announced she was ok . The service was first rate and everyone v friendly . When we went to pay - they refused and said it is part of the service ! Amazing in a reasonable small town to have that sort of service.
That night we came into the Huahine Yacht Club - a bar/ restaurant on the waterfront and enjoyed happy hour and a meal.
Have to say that despite persistent rain Fare and Huahine seem a lovely place and will be in no hurry to leave.
200 metres from anchorage we have a bar and 200 metres the othe way in the pass there is a great left hand surf break which I enjoyed a great session on this morning .
Paradise !
