In 2021 Polynesia was still dealing with COVID. So flights were limited and visitors were restricted. Plus we were not able to renew our resident cards and new VISAs were not being issued. That meant that we could only visit the islands for 90 days. We arrived in August and COVID cases were on the rise again so the Polynesian authorities implemented a lock down just 3 days after we arrived. Good thing we got to the grocery ahead of the lockdown and purchased food, alcohol and beer. During lockdown, only essential grocery visits were allowed, no alcohol sales, and exercise was allowed only within 1 kilometer of your home. The boat was not allowed to leave the marina. The original lockdown was 2 weeks but that was extended an additional 2 weeks. So our 90 days got cut to only 60 days of sailing. We decided to stay close to Tahiti and only visit the islands of Moorea, Huahine, Tahaa, and Raiatea.
