[status] yesterday woke up at our glassy anchorage behind ile Tomarao to a pod of dolphins playing just 50 m from the boat as we raised anchor to set off for Bora Bora. Nice send off :) motored for 40 mins to get away from the Lee of the impressive mountains that had given us such a peaceful night then a nice NE set in swinging slightly more east as we got away from Raiatea. Had 2 strikes - the second peeled off 400 metres of line in literally a minute however neither stuck - even a wire trace got bitten through. Just off Bora Bora was a bird work up so we deviated and got a skippie however the local boats were onto the workup in a hurry and as we were still under sail I continued on to the passage but am sure there would have been bigger fish under the workup .
Took a mooring off the Bora Bora Yacht Club and settled in to wifi and some snacks in a ost pleasant environment. Then dinner ashore which was the best food we have had in French Polynesia so far . Plus full moon ? - quite a setting .
Today the sky was threatening but cleared as the day went on - went into town and did some shopping plus looked into Zuny?s flight for Papeete in a few weeks.
Another night on the moorings at the Yacht Club tonight as it is too deep to anchor here or around the corner closer to town. Is a local festival tomorrow night in town so will head into see that.
Looking at this site on wifi it seems that some of the recent posts haven?t uploaded - not sure why .
