Fare, Huahine, 30April 2018.

We departed Oponohua Bay on Moorea on the 28th and had a pleasant overnighter heading to Raietea. However when the wind dropped out I changed course and motored to Huahine Island, arriving around 0900 and anchored in a beautiful, but anonymous, bay on the east coast.

We all went ashore and had a beautiful meal of fresh fried fish with beans and rice salad.

Afterwards we moved to another anchorage nearer the bay entrance. I had anchored there before and loved it and it was as good this time. Just in a pass sheltered by a sand island, a motu here, and in shallow water.

This morning we left this idilic anchorage and went north around to Fare which is where we are now, on a mooring. Lunch today in the “Yacht Club, Huahine”. A small town but a good supermarket, 2 banks and a post office. Tomorrow we will head off to Raietea, a 20 mile trip.

All is well on board.
I have some photos to put up, but they’re not yet available. I’ll try again shortly.
