From the log

We've spent the last 6 weeks visiting the islands of Raiatea, Tahaa, and Bora Bora. These islands are very close to each other which makes for easy sailing. A picture, taken from the International Space Station shows the three islands from top to bottom: Bora Bora, Tahaa, and Raiatea. Tahaa and Raiatea share the same lagoon inside the reef. Tahaa is the only island with deep water all the way around so we completed our first circumnavigation……of Tahaa! Or as we say Ta Ha Ha Ha!

    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.
