Picture is from Judy's "Diving mask camera". We were on one of the Motu's with in the Bora Bora lagoon.
After leaving Raiatea we came to Bora Bora (another 4 hour sail). We got here on the 10th and have been here since. We have seen only a little of Bora Bora (again about a 45 minute walk to town. We are here for the "heiva", their national dance, chanting and other events. We were also here for the eclipse and Bastille Day. We are planning on spending a few more days and then possibly going back to Tahaa (we didn't see any of it).
Svein is leaving us here in Bora Bora, he doesn't leave until the 4th of August, but we will probably be out of here sooner. We have to be out of French Polynesia by the 7th of August (officially), our 90 days is up then. We (& Puppy) have made up our minds and will be leaving here for Samoa (with maybe a stop in the Cook's) this Sunday (the 25th). This sail will be about a week (with stop over) or 2 weeks straight to Samoa.
Svein has been a great help to us and we will miss him. We are looking forward to our continuing adventures with only the 2 of us, as e will not have to "share" the boat with others.
This will end our "current" travels. I will try to keep our blog up to date from now on, but I make no promises.
We didn't make it back to Tahaa, but we did "petal our butts" around Bora Bora. It is a lovely island, but too many "tourist's' here.
