The weather gods have decided to give us more respite from wind, swell and rolling. It is another glorious day here in Papeete. Blue skies, light winds, crystal clear water (I can see our anchor in over 40' of water!!) Geoff is off chasing boat bits in town. And I am enjoying some reasonable internet speed! It's hard to ensure a constant connection when your boat keeps swinging around!
Yesterday we headed into town to do more boat bit shopping and me some market crawling. The big undercover markets are a mix of fruit, veggies, carvings, trinkets, pearls, fish, flowers and lunch stalls. It is a mass of colour and sound. Upstairs there is another floor of stalls selling everything from tshirts, pareo's (sarongs) postcards and more pearls. In fact you seem to be able to buy pearls just about every three shops!! However we got ours from the source in Tuamotu's.
We have just heard that Christine is heading our way again for a flying visit on the 28th of June, very exciting news! We will be leaving Tahiti tomorrow and heading 13nm west to Moorea to stay for awhile. It will be nice to be there again. Then off to Huahine (some familiar surfing grounds for Geoff here) where it is likely we will be when Chris visits. Not sure how much internet connection I will be able to get once away from Tahiti. So if there are no blogs, sorry :( I will do my best though to keep it posted with the Sat phone as to where we are.
There is some exciting news at home, we hear our friends Brandon and Christa are in labour right now with a baby girl. Of course our dear friends Ian and Shell are due in October and now we hear other Paragliding friends Mark and Leanne are due for another baby in November!! Wow the Paragliding community is very fertile?!
