Cyndi and Rich aboard Legacy
June 29, 2012
We headed back to Rotoava at the north end of Fakarava. We’d anchored there for two nights when we first got in to Fakarava, but it was blowing and a bit rough so we never made it ashore. Now we decided to enjoy some time here.
This is Legacy at anchor. Notice the maga-yacht in the background. There have been lots of them in French Polynesia.
The parking lot. Plenty of space available!
The suburbs…
And downtown! -Rich & Cyndi
We motored about 30 miles today, all inside the atoll, back to the north end of Fakarava. On the way up, we anchored near a little hotel with wifi that broadcasts out into the bay and all the way to our boat. Now that we have internet for a night, we’ll post a bunch of pictures. Here they come… -Rich (June 29, 2012)
Poor Cyndi as the morning temperature dips to almost 70!
May – July, 2012
We are officially taking the South Pacific Pizza Tour. We’ve now had it in Hiva Oa, twice in Nuku Hiva, Ua Pou and Fakarava.

There isn’t even a town at the south end of Fakarava yet we managed to go out for pizza. Fish pizza no less cooked in a wood fired oven and hand made. A wonderful man named Manihi invites all the cruisers to his house a few times a week and cooks for everyone.
This is his house with the open air, covered dining room. The only way to get there is by boat.
On the night we went, he had about twelve cruisers over. The company was great.
At an hour or two old, the fish on this pizza couldn’t have been much fresher.
After dinner, the fish scraps go in the water for the other guests – black tipped reef sharks. These were about three feet from the dining table. -Rich
