Tahiti Bound

Hello All,
We are under way to Tahiti, we left Toau at 0830 this morning(5-17-2010). The wind is blowing between 15 and 20 knots, we are on a beam reach (wind at our side) and making 5.5 to 6 knots. We hope to be in Tahiti in 2 days. It is a very nice day and seas are about 6 feet.
Yesterday the wind was still blowing 25 to 30, so we just chilled out and I got a few little projects done on the boat. Last night Curious invited us and the local couple that fed us dinner the other night, Gastron and Valentine, Steve fixed an Italian dish that was fabulous and we made the dessert, Moms famous fried bread with cinnamon on top. Gastron and Valentine were very impressed, they don't eat much stuff that doesn't have to do with fish. They were very kind and gave us all Oyster shells and a few pearls for the ladies. Valentine is a pro Pearl farmer and has Oyster beds in the lagoon. We told them we were going to head out today and they said,no, stay a month, don't leave now! lol so we said our goodbyes last night. They are awesome hosts and folks and maybe we will see them again someday. Curious is heading for a few more Atolls before Tahiti so we will hope to see them in a month or so.
I will write again tomorrow and let you know how its going.


PEACE
