Pictures from Tahiti

Well, this is a quick photo set from the Tahiti trip, taken a the end of September.  The sailing was done on a 42 foot catamaran with Captain Kent at the helm. His spouse and First Mate, Nancy, was a great crew organizer and made us all feel at home. Nancy's brother, Bob, and his wife Linda joined the crew and the last couple were Laura and me. 

In this picture, from the left are Laura, Captain Kent, Bob, Linda, Pat and First Mate Nancy. 

 We stayed in an overwater bungalow before and after the sail and this was the mooring ball, a short swim from our unit. 

One of our on shore events was a dinner at Chez Louise on Raiatea. This is our boat at sunset from the restaurant. 

Getting ready for a snorkel session. 

We toured a pearl farm and this was the harvesting procedure. 

Bloody Mary's on Bora Bora. 

A series of shot using my underwater point and shoot camera. 

As we sailed from Bora Bora to Taha'a, a mother whale and her offspring joined us. 

Relaxing on the deck. 

We ate well, thanks to First Mate Nancy's planning. This was our spaghetti lunch. 

Another wonderful sunset. 

Entertainment at the Hotel Hawaiki Nui on Raiatea.
