Utuvoa, Raiatea

Yesterday was a wonderful afternoon and evening of playing the blues and enjoying a barbecue with Richard and his family, including one of his sons, his wife, and two kids (one, a new babay), his key employees, a dear friend from San Diego, Karen, and the two great people from Germany, Robert and Connie, who have been here more than a year. It was an honor to have been invited to the family affair.


We left for Raiatea this morning after receiving notice that our roller furler and other items had been sent and would be at the Nautisport in Raiatea, and we are conveniently side-tied at the city dock. David picked up our packages and, yippee, we now have a new camera once again, thanks to you!!! We are so thankful. David has unveiled the staysail roller furler, which is larger than our headsail furler, and is trying to make sense of the directions. We will tackle this tomorrow morning, as well as reprovisioning at the Commercial, the supermarket right down the street. Our bikes are out, and we will ride a few blocks into town to have dinner and cruise around a bit. Sorry that I cannot upload any pictures to you yet, but will explore the internet opportunities tomorrow. Thank goodness we have sailmail. -Suzi
