After breakfast we left for the 20 mile sail from Huahine to the lagoon containing Tahaa and Raiatea. We were undecided which of the two islands we were heading for!! In the lagoon we looked at the town quay at the main town in Raiatea (we had heard that you could stay here for a couple of days for free) but the wind was blowing straight onto it which would have made it uncomfortable. After looking at the other possibilities on the north coast of Raiatea we decided to head to the Taravana Yacht Club on the south side of Tahaa because it was protected and we had heard that the mooring buoys were free if you bought a beer.
At the yacht club all the buoys had reserved signs on but as we were about to give up the manager of the club radioed to tell us that some of the buoys were available. We picked up a buoy, went ashore to say hello and then came back to the boat for lunch.
After a relaxing afternoon we headed ashore for a walk and then drinks in the bar – Calysta, Bagheera (Peter and Nikki, English), Rogue (Scottish) and Thumbs Up (Ivan and Cheryl, American) were also on mooring buoys and ashore for drinks.
