We spent more than a week in Mo’orea, the first three days as participants in the Mo’orea Tahiti Rendevoux Regatta. Once again our friend Jason was with us, he sailed in the regatta on Painkiller and then he returned to Tahiti on the IMOCA 60 SOMEWHERE LONDON, seen here at anchor. The island is lush, anchorages spectacular, and the local people are lovely.

The Regatta included traditional foods, sports, outrigger canoe races, and dances. There were Fire Dances at night as well as daytime dances. There were only 14 boats in the Regatta so we had front row seats for all of the events.
