Leaving for Moorea we were accompanied by Rally boats Seaduced, Trillium and Circe. All of us headed into Cook's Bay, except for Seaduced.
Moorea is beautiful and a perfect place to recharge ourselves with lazy days. The Cook's Bay anchorage is protected and much less crowded than the bay to the west. There is a cute hotel with thatched roofs called Bali Hai and it has a little restaurant with a convenient dingy dock. Also in walking distance, a fuel station for the dingy, grocery store and snacks. The place is very boat friendly and the nearby visitor center arranges excursions and transportation.
Other Rally boats also came into the anchorage later: American Spirit, Folie a Deux, II Audacious and Saphir. It's great to see and visit with all of these boats we know. We are all leaving in stages ending up in Bora Bora to start the next leg of the Rally.
Next: Serene Raiatea
