A
rainbow to start the month of nice.
Jonah
and Kate in the dinghy at Huahine.
Jonah
"Skerfing" off the dinghy on his boogieboard. He loved it.
The
view of the anchorage in Fare, Huahine from the restaurant by the dinghy dock. A
very surreal image with the dark restaurant in the foreground.
Uncle
Danny (who paid us a visit for a week) playing dice with Jonah.
High
fives after a good roll!
The
view from an anchorage on the NW side of Taha'a with BoraBora in the
distance.
The
motu behind us from the same anchorage as the above shot. We are anchored here
in a 8ft shelf just a few hundred yards from the motu.
Jonah
perched on the end of the Zodiac anout to jump in for a swim.
Danny
and Jonah "swimming" together.
One
of the many great sunset shots we caught while anchored in the lagoon at Taha'a.
A
small village church on the West coast of Taha'a.
Danny
in the zodiac taking photos of the Queen Jane.
A
ship leaving Raiatea via the main pass.
One
of the many lovely motus surrounding the lagoon at Taha'a.
More
motus on the reef at the northern end of Taha'a's lagoon.
Sunset
over BoraBora from the lagoon at Taha'a.
A
few moments later. Perhaps what BoraBora looked like thousands of years ago
while the volcano was active! Or not.
Our
favorite camera shy boy.
Jordan,
Jonah and Uncle Danny pose for a shot of the Three Beegs.
A
father and his two kids crossing the lagoon at Taha'a during a spell of bad
weather.
Clouds
over Taha's.
A
ship seen in the lagoon on the West side of Taha'a. Apparently she is an
"Adventure Cruise Ship".
A
plane about to take off from the airstrip at Raiatea.
The
impressive North coast of Raiatea showing the flat topped, extinct volcano which
helped form the island.
The
commerical waterfront at Raiatea. The ferrys dock at the wharf to the left, the
fuel dock is to the right.
Captain
and Commander pose behind the helm.
A
nice Wahoo (Ono) caught between Raiatea and Suvarov.
This
image shows the tail of the fish showing evidence of an encounter with a shark.
Fortunately we were able to haul him in before he got another chance at it. The
fish was dead before it hit the deck. Kate says it died of shock.
The
front end of the fish showing the lure used to catch it. Our biggest Wahoo ever!
One
of Jonah's LEGO creations. He said it was "Pegasus". Not bad!
Anchorage
island in the Suvarov lagoon.
The
view from the cockpit of the Queen Jane at anchor in the lagoon at Suvarov.
Notice the submerged reef just 100yds behind us.
Anchorage
Island again. The S/V Amoha to the left. The Amoha lost its rudder on the way to
Suvarov and spent 4 weeks there making repairs. It took them a week to reach the
atoll after losing the rudder only 150 miles from Suvarov.
The
Queen Jane underway (with poled out Genoa) passing the island of Olosega, part
of American Samoa.
Ofa
island, also part of American Samoa. We tried to find a place to anchor at Ofa
but could not. Info was very sketchy on the island since it is rarely visited
due to its position 80 miles upwind of PagoPago, the only legal port of entry
for American Samoa.
