[weather] no wind , hot and sticky 33 degrees a few showers
[status]after cruising across from Papeete to Moorea yesterday on a beautiful day sailing at 6 knots just under main we pulled into Baie de Cook channel and took a left to find an idyllic spot just outside a beach bar in crystal clear water . Went ashore for limited wifi and a couple of beers ($100 !) ouch !
Last night we turned the underwater light on and had several stingrays turn up putting on a show. Was the second night in a row we had moon fish for dinner - mist won?t have heard of that but it is a deep water delicacy we saw in the supermarket and Greg tempted me to buy some - v nice indeed.
This morning we had a pooper session from the inflatable just inside the reef - got a blue trevally and a coral trout both of which I returned but several other hits - was fun.
After breakfast we had a dive on the edge of the the pass in through the reef-ok dive -only rather 3 Rd since being away so we need to get some in ready for the Tuomotus shortly !
Went up to top of baie de cook- supermarket shut in fact everything shut so came back to where we were moored last night.
BCk to Papeete tomorrow morning.
