1st July, Fare, Huahine, French Polynesia

We picked up the hire car again at 9am and drove to Fare to got o the supermarket and get fuel. In the Fare some of the locals had set up stalls selling fruit and veg so we managed to get some tomatoes, green peppers and a pineapple as well as a couple of supplies from the supermarket.

Back on the boat we decided to move the boat up to Fare ready to leave tomorrow (Fare is next to the pass to exit the lagoon) and now the wind had eased the town anchorage looked calm again.

We had a nice motor up the lagoon and found a nice spot to anchor, had lunch and then went ashore to do some jobs. Back in the supermarket (again!!) we met the couple from Whisper (Scoot and Mary, USA) who we had briefly met in the anchorage on Fri before we had all left to find more sheltered bays.

Back on Newt we had a swim and a shower and the people from Daydream (Wayne and Susan, Canada) came over to say hello and invited for drinks on the town pier. So we packed some wine and beer and headed to the town pier and had a lovely couple of hours meeting some new people.
