After leaving Huahine we went to Tahaa and spent the night on a mooring ball in 110 feet of water. The basic problem being that we were in line with the main entrance into the lagoon (Tahaa and Raiatea are in the same lagoon). During our crossing (it's only about 20 miles) we noticed that our UV cover for the jib was coming loose (tired threads) so we had to get it fixed. I called a sail maker on Raiatea to see if it could be done rather quickly, she said bring it to me and we'll see. We went to Raiatea and pulled into the Apooiti Marina (1 hour trip by motor). It's a very nice marina and we picked up another mooring ball. The only problem with this place is that it was about a 45-minute walk into town, we hitched-hiked first and took a cab later.
