9th July, South West anchorage (between Point Raititi and Point Matira), Bora Bora

We headed ashore and went to a shop that Jonny had seen computers in the window of when we had been walking around town. They couldn't help us but sent us to another shop. The shop had one option in stock and another they could get from Tahiti the next day but we decided to go with the option they already had.
Back on the boat Jonny spent the rest of the morning fixing the laptop and re installing the systems.
We decided to carry on exploring the island and to head down to the southern end. We got to near the end of the island where some boats were anchored but decided the anchorage around the point looked nicer. The passage around the point was heart stopping with 0.1m under the keel at times as we worked our way through the coral heads … but it was worth the effort because the anchorage was stunning.
We had a lovely afternoon exploring and then had to fix the dinghy because the floor kept going down … while we had been tied up to the town quay the night before someone had thrown a cigarette in the dinghy and burnt a hole in the floor!!
