Bora-Bora Yacht Club

We moved from Bloody Marys to the Bora-Bora Yacht Club on Friday. There are new owners and they are in the process of fixing it up. There are a few moorings here but we decided to anchor as they charge or moorings here. Moorings are 2000 CFP per night, about $25 dollars but we are trying to conserve a bit, and we have a perfectly good anchor. The weather has been a bit strange with fronts passing through bit not much wind, just occasional gusts. The boats that have left to head west in the past few days have had light winds if they went north towards Suwarrov and those heading to Raratonga are getting 20-25 knots from the SW, right on the nose!! We are looking at leaving here later in the week if the weather settles down they way it has been predicted to. By Wednesday/Thursday the easterly trades look to build back in and stay steady for awhile, maybe long enough to get us to Nuie. Not mush happening around here the past few days, getting the boat back in passage condition after 3 months of short hops. Nuie is 1050 miles so we are looking at 8-10 days depending on the wind. Better wind, faster passage, we'll just have to see.
