Well, we had our first change of plans. We headed out at dawn planning a two day trip to the Tuomotos....but after two hours of pounding seas and bucking the wind, we (okay me!) decided to give the Tuomotos a pass. We knew the prevailing wind was going to be against us, but I just didn't feel like getting us and the boat beat up for two solid days. The major attraction in the Tuomotos is the outstanding diving - especially the South Pass where an average dive has you swimming with 300 10- 12 foot lemon sharks. However, for the past 12 days they have sighted a Tiger Shark (which is the second deadliest to a Great White), so it is likely that the swimming, snorkeling and diving would have been curtailed anyway.
We are now back in Tahiti, awaiting our boat documents to be couriered from Canada. Doug, who used the boat in February inadvertently took them home with him in his important documents. Once we get these and our clearance papers we will head to the Leeward Islands for 4 - 6 weeks...Moorea, Huahine, Raiatea and Bora, Bora and possibly Maupiti (depending on how strong the south swell is).
Until Friday.....Find the special moments in every day.
