Moorea Fun!




We went to the shore and did a hike up to the great view of the whole bay, unfortuneatly the weather was cloudy and rainy so we didn't get the best view but it was still good! Steve found a great piece of banboo and plans to make a rain stick out of it!! we also played horseshoes with Dorothy Marie,Malachi,Ovive, and Free Spirit. Glenn off Dorothy Marie was the champ , the boys had a blast , even had the local kids give it a try!
We are leaving around dinner time to head for Huahinie which is about 80 nm and a 12-16 hrs sail. we are leaving at this time so we arrive during the daylight to enter the pass. Our time here on Moorea has been great, buy the way time for Trivia
