This update will cover our time in Moorea and Huahine. Two islands that are similar but also different. We also have a new plan. French Polynesia has just changed the law which allows foreign boats to stay for 3 years without paying import duty. So we are going to take advantage and keep Liward here the full three years until 2016. The immigration is still the same so we have to fly back to the USA when our 6 month visa expires and apply for a new one. So we'll be back in the USA on October 8. Look at the pictures below and you'll see why we don't want to leave!This update will cover our time in Moorea and Huahine. Two islands that are similar but also different. We also have a new plan.

    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.
