This is just a quick note to say we leave Bora Bora in a few days for Maupiti and then Tonga. I still need to figure out how to update this blog by email. More to come later. Its too difficult on a frtench keyboard. I will attach pictures of the crew ASAP. So far the dinghy engine was stolden in Moorea, the Tangon fell in the sea enroute to Bora Bora but was recovered and needs repair. and some alternator brackets had to be welded. I found the Ballooner and Mizzen Ballooner. Had some great snorkeling, saw wonderful dancers in Raitea, had great tour içn mOOREA AND tAHAA? ETC;. mORE LATER;

OK. We finally got the Radar and new chart plotter installed as well as all the other things we needed to do to get Pacific Cool ready after being on the hard for 15 months. More work than I thought. We left Raiatea two days ago and spent the first night moored in TaHaa at the Hibiscuss Hotel where we had dinner as the only guests except the dog and cat who joined us. Yesterday we had our first real shakedown cruise sailing to Bora Bora and all went well even if we did nearly hit the reef on Bora Bora. Just kidding. Last night we moored at the Bora Bora Yacht Club. This is my first time being able to get on the internet in a week. I just wanted to see if the blog was actually working. More to come later. We're on the way to a Motu for snorkeling.

This is a test message to see how sailblogs works. I've included a picture of Pacific Cool at the dock in Raiatea.
