An early start this morning because we wanted to fuel up and then head to the town quay early. As part of the Tahiti Moorea rally you got a free nights berth on the town quay but there was limited space so we wanted to be there early to get a spot. We fueled and watered up and headed out of the anchorage passed the airport. Before you cross the end of the runways you have to call the Port Control for permission and despite doing this and being told we were clear to proceed we had a couple of planes passing quite close above us!! As we made our way down the pass towards the town quay we had a guy in an out rigger canoe surfing the wake created by the dinghy being towed behind which was amazing to watch. There was plenty of room on the town quay and we had lots of people to help us with the med mooring docking – taking our bow lines and then passing us the lazy lines. We were still unsure whether we had managed to get a place on the rally so went to find the organizer who told us that they were currently full but people might not turn up so to go to the Registration tent at 2pm.
They had decided to extend the rally numbers from 50 to 60 boats so we managed to get a spot and registered. In the afternoon there was basket weaving, a Polynesian blessing on the yachts and a skippers briefing followed by a cocktail party in the evening.
After the cocktail party we invited Calysta and Maya 3 over for fish curry and Andy (Calysta) helped me make my first ever curry – which was yummy!!
