27th June, Huahine, French Polynesia

In the morning we met the local guy and he took us for a walk round the bay up to a view point and around to a house that he was building. There was a American luxury hotel in the bay but it had been blown away by a hurricane and you could still see the swimming pool and foundations from the bungalows.
After the walk we started to get things ready for the bbq – we were going to make coconut bread to go with it so we had to grate the flesh from about 10 coconuts and collect some leaves to bake the bread in.
Unfortunately the situation changed and we decided to leave the bay and head to a different anchorage.
We headed to the south end of the island and found a sheltered anchorage off a beach where we are planning to spend a couple of days waiting for the wind to ease.
We had heard a boat called Bagheera on the radio and the guy sounded English and when we arrived in the anchorage they were here but not on the boat but when they arrived back they called us up to say hello and invited us over for a drink. They are heading to New Zealand.
After drinks on Bagheera Andy had invited us over for tea and we had a nice pasta with a curry sauce.
