19 months & counting
Trenten Reef Paul turned 19 months yesterday and I can hardly believe how quickly the time has past since his birth in Papeete, Tahiti. We have been on quite an adventure, as always.

Moorea
We have, (sadly), just dropped Christina and Nicola off at the airport in Tahiti after a week out anchored off the island of Moorea. What a wonderful week full of fun. The ladies hit the spa!, hiking and swimming with Sting Rays and Sharks. The water in Moorea is really clear blue hues. We had a [...]

Papeete, Tahiti
We are anchored off marina Taina in Papeete, the main city on the island of Tahiti. This is the only 'big city' (250,000) we have seen in several months. It is a mix of European French & casual islander. The large verdant island soars into the sky and is mostly surrounded by a coral barrier reef. [...]
Papeete, Tahiti
25 May 2013
We are anchored off marina Taina in Papeete, the main city on the island of Tahiti. This is the only 'big city' (250,000) we have seen in several months. It is a mix of European French & casual islander. The large verdant island soars into the sky and is mostly surrounded by a coral barrier reef. The civilization is nice to enjoy sidewalk cafes, GOURMET FRENCH FOOD (wow)!, decent provisions & shops. Today we will take the 72 mile Circle road to tour the island.
The 120 mile sail from Rangiroa, Tuamotos was one of our best yet! We had 23 - 35 knots off the beam, 10 ft seas beam-quarter, the entire passage (excluding the 5 hour bash around the atoll). Maestro clipped along at 8.5 - 10 knots perfectly. First 'trade wind' sail yet! AND NO SQUALLS!
On Monday we will move Maestro into the Marina for a much needed wash down, sail repair and rest for her crew!
