June 4-24, 2014
We had a two-night passage from Tahanea in the Tuamotus to Papeete, Tahiti. We spent five chore filled days in Papeete before Andrew arrived, and the next day we motored over to the island of Moorea and anchored with a crowd of boats just outside the mouth of Baie d’Opunohu for a few days. For a change of scenery, we moved inside the deep bay to a spot called Robinson cove and then for another change of scenery we moved back out to our previous spot.
We spent about a week total in Moorea before sailing overnight to Huahine. There are many options for anchoring at Huahine and we were regretting that our time on our visa was running out and we couldn’t hit them all. So, we first stopped just inside the pass at the town of Fare, which is a really nice small town with surprisingly good provisioning. After getting our happy hour and ice cream fix, we moved down inside the reef to the southernmost anchorage of Avea. It was an absolutely beautiful spot, and we stayed 3 days but could have stayed so much longer. But Bora Bora was calling us before our visas expired.
