Bodacious Bora Bora Beachwear |
When we arrived in Bora Bora, those famous peaks were on fire. We picked up a mooring ball at the Maikai Marina and after two nights of being rained on with ash we decided to go an anchor off a little motu away from the fall out and wait for that fire to die out.

One of the days we were walking to the market and unbelievably Layla (closest to the ground) picked up a Grade A black pearl valued at around three hundred euro's. The clasp had broken.
It was all very exciting because this was the second pearl she found! The first, a baroque pearl, she found in Kahuea Atoll, in the Tuamotu's. One lucky little girl. We had the pearl reset as a pendant for her and she wears it proudly, telling anyone and everyone, she found it!

Bora Bora was a turning point for a few friends who decided to spend another season in French Polynesia so good bye was said to some as the rest of us continued on our voyage further West to get out of the cyclone belt by November.
Sadly here we said goodbye to our very dear friends, Eva and Jean Luc aboard sy Reve De Lune and Gordon and Liz of sy Cattidtude. Miss you guys already!

We had spent longer in Bora Bora than intended, I suppose this is just what happens in Bora Bora. Having so much fun socializing, the days just melted away.
Spending time in Bora Bora was like being invited to the social event of the year, diving, dining, drums, dancing dervishes, first dates (Skyla), donzi's and dreamers, it was difficult to depart.
