Moorea w/ Paula and Tom

This is the perfect set-up. After motor-sailing over here from Papeete, we found the Bali Hai in Cook's Bay with Tom waving to us with a mooring line in his hand while swimming with PJ close behind. How very cool is that! We are moored right in front of where they are staying! Paula and I swam and talked non-stop while David and Tom drank beers and visited on Sidewinder; we dropped Worm in the water and dinghied to their little shack, walked down to the little village at the end of the bay and back, and then drove Worm back to Sidewinder and had drinks and dinner. What a fun day and evening with our dear friends! It is so nice to have someone to really talk to and be with. We have met some great people, but it takes time to form solid relationships that grow over time. 


We are in Cook's Bay, in front of the resort, about midway as you go into the bay on the left side. There are some great hikes around here, and the next bay over is where most sailboats go because it is much clearer, so we will have to explore that as well; it is great that we have the dinghy for exploring the unknown. David is snoring in the main salon after barbecuing and eating the perfect ahi dinner, and it is time for us to go to sleep. We will try, tomorrow morning, to send some pictures Tom took today, using their internet service at the hotel. Bye for now :)
