From the log

We spent 7 great months in Florida while we qualified for a new long stay French Polynesia Visa. After much paperwork we were approved! So in April we returned to Liward where she was docked in Marina Taina, Tahiti. Emma took wonderful care of her and she looked beautiful. We had a few boat projects to complete like engine service, getting sails up, mast inspection, toilet replacements, new autopilot install, and outboard service. Then we provisioned up and were ready to enjoy Tahiti before sailing off to Moorea.We spent 7 great months in Florida while we qualified for a new long stay French Polynesia Visa.

    Following along from Houston and loving every update. That shot of the anchorage at dawn is going straight on my wall.

    We crossed paths with you in Bocas years ago and have been reading ever since. Fair winds to you both.

    My grandkids and I look up every island you mention on the map. It has turned into our little geography lesson.

    Twenty years of this and still going. You two are the reason we finally put a deposit on a boat of our own.
