Our return from France, the plan was to put the cap on the Marquesas... but the wind is not favourable we decide to go to the South and the Austral Islands.
06 July 2018: We stop a few days on Raiatea time to do some shopping, review Jane and Marc (Ratafia) and continue our road to Bora Bora.
The wind is not really to the make you to go on Raiatea so we stay a few more days on Huahine to attend the opening of the Heiva, traditional cultural festival which takes place in July in the Polynesian archipelago. Songs, dances, Racing canoes, crafts or agricultural exhibitions are scheduled.
Before continuing to Moorea and Huahine we have to make a stopover in Papeete to repair our Gennaker, order a new lazy bag and see a bunch of friends...
