Bora Bora 2

John and Paula "Mr John VI"
Local guide for Stingray feeding

The Stingray up CLOSE to me!!

Okay, we have just picked up a mooring buoy off the famous, Bora Bora Yacht Club for the night. This is were 13 years ago we enjoyed a dinner with Max (Geoff's Dad) Bill and Linda. Max paid and it cost him about $20 each for our burger and chips!!!! Now I've just been in to check out what the deal is with taking the buoy, it's still free, the restaurant is under renovation so no food, but we can go ashore for a drink in the bar. So we may do that if Geoff is up to it, just for old times sake.

Bora Bora is now even more touristy, lots more Hotels, lots more boats, lots more tourists. However the Island is still as beautiful as ever. And we are both looking forward to getting back to the anchorage on the SE corner were we anchored 13 years ago in 10' of lovely pool like clear water in beautiful white sand. Remember that spot, Max, Linda and Billy?

We hear Christine got home safely and we thank her again for all the food she bought us, the treats and parts she bought us over from home and the wonderful dinners out she paid for. Way too generous. But certainly very appreciated! The new zinc is happily installed on our Max-prop and we hope that it will hold off the electrolysis problem we seem to have???? Don't ask!!
