Moorea

I was very happy to make the short sail to Moorea, because I had heard so much nice about the place. It delivered in full.

We did one day of snorkling, where we started at 8 am, diving with 8 - 10 feet long lemon sharks. They were big, but minded their own business and didn't mind us free-diving around them.

At 09:30 we dinghied over to a sandbar where there are tons of stingrays ... In spite of Steve Irwin's experience with them, we had a great time. We brought squid with us and they soon loved us ... and were all over us.

After the stingrays, we headed over to some tiki statues that had been dumped in the sea a long time ago by missionaries that didn't want the locals worshipping false idols.

On the last day we hired scooters together with Lee and Lauren on Jargo and Don, Devon and Jen on Liquid Courage. It was a lot of fun shooting around the island on the surprisingly fast scooters.

We got back to the boat just before sunset, which gave us enough time to hoist anchor and shoot out of the pass before it got dark. It had been a short, but awesome stay on Moorea. I can't wait to do it again :-)
