Check this out....!
Although a bit unnerving at first....it turned out to be one of those 'never to be forgotten experiences. The Rays come straight up to you and swim over your body searching for food. Their skin is surprisingly soft and silky.

The games which involved taking part in the traditional canoe races, a relay race running race carrying a bamboo pole with bananas on each end, husking, cracking, grating and squeezing a coconut and finally lifting rocks. The rocks weighed 80lbs, 150lbs and 200lbs! The key to success being a mix of technique and brute strength. Each time our the procedure was carefully explained and then demonstrated by the Chief.

We joined the Taihiti Moorea Sailing Rendezvous and had a wonderful time with other cruising boats and our friends from New Zealand, Bob and Heather. The Rendezvous was a rally (aka a race) from Tahiti to Moorea, but light winds turned it into a raffle. The traditional games on the following day which we were all encourage to participate in were a lot of fun.
