Another day in the Life=?ISO-8859-1?Q?=85?=..

After a quiet morning, we went ashore to make a phone call and get a few groceries. On the way, Cathy spied out a place for me to get my hair cut and with some urging, I did. Once again, short is the order of the day when it's this hot. We wandered around a bit then back to the boat for lunch then off to do some snorkelling by the reef. We did a slow tour by dinghy of the big 4 masted ship that came in Friday night, the "Star Flyer", one of the Star Clipper ships. If I ever take a cruise it would be one of those ships.
The snorkelling was OK, not a lot of life but the coral does show some signs of rejuvenation, mostly though it is pretty dead. Saw quite a few small fish, ranging from black to electric blue. We thought about going down to Port Phaeton but will likely not bother as it will be full of boats and it's better here. Toketie is leaving the Tuamotus today and will likely get to Papeete in a couple of days if they get some wind. We will head back to there likely on Monday. We are both quite surprised at the relatively few boats that are here. Most of the cruisers seem to be hanging around Papeete. Good for us.
