Paw Paw - Log Day 133: A Magical Day



Today was a magical day and one that is right up there with the best of days since starting our sailing adventure.

With everyone from Nina and Do Over split between Cattiva and Paw Paw's dinghies we headed in the direction of the Intercontinental Resort and Spa for one of the coolest experiences we've had. En route we were welcomed by a pod of dolpins who played around the dinghies within arms reach of us.

That was not to be surpassed though by the experience we had when we reached our destination - swimming and feeding Sting Rays surrounded by Black-tipped Sharks in their natural habitat. The rays absolutely loved the sardines we'd bought for them and rewarded us with lots of hugs using their velvet soft wings - simply wonderful! The sharks stayed at bay and only came closer once we were all back in the dinghies and then gave them the last of the fish we had.

En route back to the yachts, we stopped for a snorkel of the underwater coral sculptures before getting our food and drinks ready for our potluck beach barbecue. The fresh barbecued tuna which we all enjoyed, besides being delicious, was extra special in that it was a gift, dropped off earlier in the day, by our newfound friends on Kai Mona (Scott and Melissa). While relaxing we got to enjoy the company of the locals and watch the various outrigger races taking place in the lagoon.

We rounded off our day with an evening at the Moorea Hilton Resort and Spa to watch the Moorean and Fire Dance Show. Of course us ladies didn't miss the opportunity to have our photographs taken with the very fit warriors.

A wonderful day, shared with wonderful people, giving us wonderful memories to treasure!
