Opunohu Bay, Moorea

We are anchored in the prettiest of water with some coral gardens nearby. The wind has picked up throughout French Polynesia and will be dead on our nose if we try to get back to Tahiti before Tuesday. There are sometimes gusts of up to 25 kts right here where we are, but the holding is good. If we are stuck here in paradise, we had better make the best of it. 


We  took Worm up to the end of Opunohu Bay where Scream is anchored and visited with Steve and Derusha for a while, did a short beautiful snorkel close to Sidewinder, and then ended the day with a cruiser cook-out potluck in the park near where we are anchored. We met some new cruiser friends and enjoyed touching base with those we have met over the last few months. It is quiet and peaceful outside right now with a billion stars all around. Life is good.
