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!
