Apparently French Polynesia isn’t done with us yet. Last night it rained hard and the morning finds us with mixed weather. Rain on and off and westerly winds. Unfortunately, west is where we want to go. As Steve says “Murphy’s Law.” So, it’s still up in the air where we head today. There are way worse places to be waiting. Uturoa is cute and has everything we need and most of what we want. And then there’s the grocery stores. But, I already went on too long about that. So, beware abrupt subject change coming.
Dogs abound here. They run around and don’t apparently have owners. They all look at you with sad doe eyes hoping for a handout. I haven’t found one yet freindly enough to pet. Yesterday, a beautiful border collie was sitting on the dock not far from the boat. The moment I took one step in his/her direction the dog took off like a bullet and didn’t stop running for quite a ways. Oh well for so much for doggy diplomacy.
Time to dial in and get some weather reports.
