Raiatea

Leaving Taravana Yacht Club - where we had a gorgeous dinner last night ("carte blanche" to the Chef) - we went south to the Uturoa Marina, in Raiatea, following Richard's advice (the Taravana).
Piloting between the two islands, we arrived smoothly, nicely docking the boat sideways... :o)
We'll be able to get the supplies we need, there is a supermarket just across the street.
We're almost docked in town, that's the first time it happens to us during this trip. Even in Arue, we where at a mooring. We are just behind the "Royal Princess", the one we had first spotted in Rangiroa. We are definitely way much nicer than her!

Quittant le Taravana Yacht Club - ou on a eu un super diner hier soir (carte blanche au chef) - on se dirige vers le sud, a la marina d'Uturoa, a Raiatea, suivant les conseils de Richard (le Taravana).
On fait du pilotage entre les deux iles, et on arrive comme une fleur, en crabe au ponton... ;0)
On va pouvoir faire tout l'approvisionnement dont on a besoin, il y a un supermache juste de l'autre cote de la rue.
On est pratiquement amarre en ville, c'est la premiere fois que ca nous arrive durant ce voyage. Meme a Arue, on etait sur un coffre. On est juste derrire le "Royal Princess", qu'on avait repere pour la premiere fois a Rangiroa. On est beacoup plus joli, sans contestation possible.
