Sailing!

On Saturday, April 27th, we set sail! We left the harbour and motored over to a couple of motu (islands) beside Taha'a, staying within the lagoon the whole time. After dropping anchor the boys went snorkeling, Rory's new favourite sport!
Next day we made the 3 and 1/2 hour crossing to the island of Huahine. We went through a pass in the reef, crossing from dark blue ocean waters to the turquoise waters of the lagoon within the reef. A group of dolphins greeted us upon our arrival before we dropped anchor in the bay near the town of Fare.
We dinghied over to the reef for a snorkel session and Mike spotted a moray eel we all got to see, as well as tons of beautiful fish. On the way back the dolphins were out again but this time entertained up us with flips, tail spins and jumps!
