After sending a fax which will hopefully resolve the tax issue and get us some money back we left Tahaa to head to Bora Bora. As we approached the pass it didn't really look like there was a pass – there didn't seem to be a gap in the breaking waves but as we got closer it was clear.
We had a nice 25 mile sail across to the Bora Bora arriving just after lunch and where met by Andy waiting for us with a baguette!! We decided to stop at the yacht club for a couple of nights to do some washing before heading off to explore the island. Silk Sheets and Equinox were also at the yacht club.
We took the dinghy into the main town and had a fun afternoon walking round. We also went into some jewelers to look at getting some of the pearls I got given in Manihi set. We found a lovely jeweler south of the main town and are going back tomorrow with the pearls!
On the way back to Newt we stopped at an English OCC (Ocean Cruising Club, which we joined after crossing the Atlantic) boat based out of Blyth. They were a lovely couple (Andy and Linda) who have been cruising for 2 years and planning on circum navigating.
Andy (Calysta) had caught a big Mahi Mahi between Raiatea and Bora Bora so we were going ashore for tea to use the BBQ at the yacht club. Also joining in the bbq was Silk Sheets and a Danish boat called Amazing. We had a good night and the fish was yummy.
