25th June, Opunohu Bay, Moorea, French Polynesia

We had heard from Sunchaser and Christine Anne that Cooks Bay was stunning and also from another boat that there was a fruit juice factory where you could sample the juices so we decided to take the dinghy for a look. We took the dinghy into the bay to a hotel that had a dinghy dock and then went for a walk. There wasn't much to see ashore but we got an ice cream from the garage!!
Leaving the bay we stopped at the juice factory and sampled some of their fruit juices, alcoholic punches and coconut liquor – all were very nice!!
We were leaving at 4pm to do an overnight sail to Huahine – the next island in the Society Island chain.
The sail was very lumpy and not quite enough wind – every time a wave hit it knocked the wind out of the sails so we alternated between sailing and motor sailing.
