Sail to Papeete
29 May 2012
We made sure we had the tides right for the exit, early morning, and taking the lead, we exited, with Virgo's Child, We ladies, would not have wanted it any rougher, the skippers enjoyed the challenge.
Arrived at Venus Point just after dark, and early morning docked our boats at the town quay of Papeete.
Whippersnapper, Whiskers, Ganga, Impiana, Just Jane, all these familiar boats were there. It was wonderful, and as Michael said, it was like a nautical version of Coronation Street!
Although you are smack on top of a busy road, its nice to be in a city environment, with everything conveniently placed, markets, chandlers, eateries etc.
