Sailing Across the Pacific Ocean 2013 (Part 16) - Exploring Moorea
Today we embarked on our great 10 mile voyage to Moorea. It only took a couple of hours and we had no problems getting in, other than the sea being a bit rough. Moorea is a much less populated island than Tahiti, but has all the luxuries since it is so close.
We anchored in Cook's Bay, which was absolutely stunning. It only has only about 10 boats anchored and is a fairly large bay. The surface of the water was lined with big, evenly-spaced hibiscus flowers, like some kind of dream world.
It was almost too beautiful to be true.
Shortly after dropping anchor, we put the dinghy in the water and booted over to the Tahitian Juice Factory for some free samples of alcoholic beverages.
We had a really sweet Tahitian girl serving us samples.
We bought a bunch of different rums and liqueurs before heading back.
Some friends told us to check out this guy who sells chicken out of a little red truck by the beach, so we decided to stop there on the way back.
Here is a shot looking out at the anchorage from shore.
