After swimming with the whales our life is going to sound boring. That was such a highlight. Anyways we left Huahine for Taara last Saturday and stayed there for one week. Taara is about 20miles from Huahine. We visited about four different anchorages in that time. It was a very pretty island, but we mostly [...]

We did it and it was the most awesome and scariest thing I have done underwater. We were getting ready to leave Huahine, without having pursued diving with Humpback whales. The cost was going to be $400 for the three of us with no guarantee we would see any whales. Anyways I meet a boat [...]

Okay, so our latest adventure blows all other adventures out of the water! We swam with whales!Mike and Gary have been searching for a way to go diving with the whales since we ever saw whales. We hired a local guy, Jeremy, here on Huahine. He took 5 of us (Marnie, Mike, [...]

Huahine
We left Moorea on Thursday night for Huahine (latitude 16 43’ S, Longitude 151 02” W) which was 90 miles away (15 hours). We only had a double reefed main and were doing 6.5 knots. It was blowing 25030 knots all night with 8 -12 ft seas. I loved it.
Huahine is another beautiful Island. On [...]

We have many adventures of Moorea we’d like to share with you. While there Mike and Gary did several dives off the reef where we were anchored. They say many fish, specifically large lemon sharks. Mike has become quite the pro at taking underwater pictures and was so excited to get the sharks [...]

We left Tahiti on Monday and arrived in Moorea (latitude 17 30’S longitude 149 50’W) staying in Opunohu Bay. It was only an 18 mile trip from Tahiti, so all went well.
After arriving we discovered that the repair to the refrigerator system was not working. So we had to go back to Tahiti to get [...]

The fridge finally got fixed last Sunday night! We drank wine with Msr. Michelle to celebrate and picked his brain some more about Tahitian ways. We set sail for the Island of Moorea on Monday morning. Thank goodness Moorea is only a 2.5 hour sail from Tahiti because the fridge broke again [...]

We are still here. We fixed the engine and just after that the refrigeration compressor went bad. So that has taken another 3 days to get fixed. Luckily it went out in Tahiti as there are a lot of parts available here.
We did a lot of shopping during the week to stock the boat with [...]

Mike and I returned from the States late one evening to be held up at immigration because they did not like the fact that we were granted a 90 day stay when we arrived in Marquesas late June. Apparently they only like to grant Americans 30 days stay. They eventually let us go [...]

Mike and I are headed back to Tahiti after spending some time in Denver and I also in Jersey. Thanks to everyone for making the effort, inviting us to parties and BBQ’s and simply making time to see us while we were in town….your love and support is so appreciated! Gary has spent time [...]
