Well, this is what we are here for. A nice sail of a few hours from Utaroa to the west side of Tahaa.

Yesterday, we had picked up a Dream Yacht Charter mooring for a day. The charge is a 6-pack of beer or soda per night. After a shop, we dropped the mooring and hoisted the Spinnaker for a nice flat water down wind run. Isobel requested that she steer... and steer she did, for a couple hours... Through this little cut (note the little palm hut where there were people hanging out for the weekend.) I was supervising, but she did a great job steering us from marker to marker, sometimes referring to the chart and sometimes asking for clarification.

I was on deck hoisting the Spi, and jobing it twice... then setting a pole when we finally turned to dead down wind.

It was wonderful also, as we passed each little village on Tahaa, there were drummers practicing for Haeva. We arrived (a little later than we wanted) for sunset over a fancy resort with bungalows built out over the water. We are anchored in 20 feet of clear water! Yea!
