Sailing with Sky/Navigation avec Sky

Today was Sky's first sail.
We left the mooring at Arue, for Point Venus (about 2.5 miles).
That was upwind, but that was OK.
The original plan was to go next to Port Phaeton, but Moorea is closer, and sounds like a good option too. We'll see tomorrow.

Aujourd'hui, premiere navigation pour Sky.
On a quitte le mouillage d'Arue pour Point Venus (a peu pres 2 milles et demi).
C'etait au pres, mais ca allait.
Le plan original etait d'aller ensuite a Port Phaeton, mais Moorea est plus pres, et semble etre une option interessante. On verra demain.

Next day, we set sail for Moorea.
It took us about 4 hours to reach the Opunohu Bay, which we entered at 12:20.
We went first to the Robinson Cove, at the back of the bay, but the shore was too buggy, we left for the anchorage
close to the reef of Vaipeu. The water is warm, and crystal clear...
Sky likes it, apparently.

Le jour suivant, on part pour Moorea.
Ca nous a pris environ 4 heures pour atteindre la Baie d'Opunohu, dans laquelle on est entres a 12:20.
On est d'abord alles a l'anse Robinson, mais il y avait trop de bestioles a terre, on est donc repartis pour le mouillage a proximite du recif de Vaipeu. L'eau est chaude et transparente...
Sky aime ca, apparement.
