Passage to Huahine…..
Dear F&F, I was a bit hesitant to depart at night in the rain, but Scott didn\’t think it would be that bad so we ventured out. The sea was bumpy, a bonine on top of my usual scopalamine patch helped. We each did two, 3 hour shifts. I made dinner & did the dishes

Moorea, A Fluke Encounter…..
Dear F&F, Moorea – A Fluke Encounter We enjoyed the morning dive, drifting with the current outside the reef. The wind was blowing opposite of the current which made it a bit more strenuous to tow the dinghy than yesterday when they were flowing the same direction. I tried to hold onto the dinghy as

Moorea Diving…..
Dear F&F, We headed outside the reef, it was sunny & calm. A dive company with guests zoomed past us, so we followed their lead to a good spot. We anchored not far from them & swam up current for a while. We saw a few black tip reef sharks & lemon sharks. Lemons are
Moorea Day #3…..
Dear F&F, We were up earlier since it was not so cold overnight. I love to get up before sunrise. With the deep bay surrounded by high peaks sunrise appears later & sets earlier. Which gives us a longer dawn & dusk; lovely times of the day. No beating sun, enough light to still enjoy

Moorea Day #2 Lasagna!…..
Dear F&F, Despite the fact that we have interior lighting just like a house, living on a boat we are more influenced by sunrise & sunset. Scott was teasing me for being drowsy at 7:30 p.m. last night. But when I pointed out to him that going to sleep at 8 p.m. & arising at

Moorea Day #1 Cooks Bay…..
Dear F&F, Leaving the dock is no easy feat. We are \”Med moored\” at Marina Taina. This means our stern (back of the boat) is tied to the dock. Versus side tied which is the other common way that docks are arranged. Two lines up front are secured to cement blocks underwater. Four lines are
