It poured down rain in the night, and we awoke to thick grey clouds and dripping humidity. Fascinating that just yesterday we’d been told we were in the “dry” season! Ha! Not sure I’d want to be here in the wet, if this was dry. We caught a little bright weather window and went ashore with Helke and Glen. Sorting out the taxi was interesting, but in the end, it all worked out. We visited the bank and two grocery markets, picked up our laundry and dinghied back to the big boat. Stuff put away, lunch eaten, and up came the anchors. We motored, making water, in the pouring rain to Tahuata. We passed a lot of bays, and finally ended up in Hanatefau. There were five boats already there, but plenty of room for Danica and us. After dropping the hooks, the guys snorkelled, I kayaked, enjoying the antics of the goats and a green backed heron, and Mary cooked the most marvellous meal. We ate supper on Danica, and finished out the evening with cards games and fellowship. Another perfect day in the Sweet Dream!
