Paw Paw - Log Day 127: A Lovely Surprise to Brighten Our Day



With the WARC fleet having left the Society Islands today, heading for Surwarrow in the Cook Islands and then with Do Over leaving Tahiti for Moorea this morning, we were feeling rather lonesome in the anchorage, unable to move until Elaine has recovered a little more.

Then Elaine heard Roy speaking to a yacht that was motoring past Paw Paw, followed by the dinghy being lowered into the water and the outboard motor starting up. About 10 minutes later he returned with a message: "Maria says hi".

Confused about who he was talking about, Roy then promptly announced that he had just helped our friends, Maria and Maurice on Cattiva, moor on the ball next to us. They had just arrived from the Tuamotos while en route to Moorea, but had to make an unexpected stop in Tahiti. What a lovely surprise as we didn't get to spend nearly as much time with them as we'd wanted to in the Marquesas due to the WARC Tahiti Rendezvous. Needless to say, they were just as surprised to find us still here.

Their arrival certainly brightened up our day!
