Day 2 - After a great night's sleep, we lounged about the boat in the morning, eating buttermilk pancakes, calling our bank, and checking our email. We spent the afternoon, visiting local shops. Garyn and Jess walked the farthest and finally got their ATM to work. We came back to the boat at dusk and made a cold fruit salad. During the day, we had a visit from Brian on Furthur. We handed off his perfume package that we carried across the Pacific and met two (of 3) crew members from Slovania, both lovely young women.
This is where spent our 25th wedding anniversary, 16 years ago. We had heard that Club Med Moorea had closed, but it was so sad to see weeds growing through cracks in the tennis courts. We could see the tennis courts from the road. The rest of the property was was fenced with barbed wired. Part of our dream was to come back to Club Med, but I guess nothing ever stays the same. We could see the Motu's off of Club Med from the beach restaurant. We will have to figure a way to get to the Motus off of Club Med for some snorkeling. We remember this as being a pretty terrific place for snorkeling.After a full day of touring (pineapple farms, beautiful vistas, jungle trails, and ancient ruins) we came back to the boat.
While Garyn and Jess went for a sunset dinghy ride, we discovered as we were fixing some cocktails, that a beer can had leaked in the forward hold. What a mess. We smelled like a brew pub as we soaked up the beer and cleaned out the hold. Garyn and Jess fixed a nice pasta and salad for dinner this evening.
Russ and I set up the hammock on the foredeck and watched the stars come up over the jagged mountains. A gentle breeze is blowing. It is a warm caress. Tomorrow???? Don't worry. Be happy.
All is well on Worrall Wind.
