From the log

Our 2023 Season was from the beginning of May through late November. We spent 5 weeks in Marina Taina doing some big projects including varnish. Then made the short sail to Moorea, our happy place. It took a few weeks but finally the wind was favorable and we made the 3 day, two night passage east to Fakarava. We spent the next two months in Fakarava, in the anchorages of Hirifa and Rotoava for supplies, Toau SE and Anse Amyot. Then the 2 night sail west to Huahine for Steve’s birthday and our anniversary. Five weeks in Huahine and the return overnight sail to Moorea for some last relaxation on the anchor. Then we return to Marina Taina to prepare Liward for our 6 month flight back to the USA. It was a fun season circling to all our favorite places. This update is definitely late, but it brings back some good memories.

    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.
