Email from Ice Dancer: We experienced poor satellite reception for the past several days, perhaps due to high mountains. Here is a recap of our recent wanderings. Today (5/12), we are enroute from Huahine to Bora Bora. Huahine is a sparsely populated and attractive island. We hunkered down there the past two days, as storms rolled past. Our overnight run from Moorea to Huahine was quite rough, with confused seas smacking us from time to time. Ham radio reports indicated strong gales in the Tuomotus, with boats unable to pass in or out of the atolls. Moorea has been the high point of the Society Islands, so far. Visualize Catalina Island only ten miles off of L.A., instead of 26, but a profile like the spires at Monument Valley. Add coconut palms, lush vegetation, clear-blue water and you have it. James Michener and others have said Bora Bora is the most beautiful of the Societies. We'll see how it compares. Dick and Gail Barnes Aboard Ice Dancer Nordhavn 50 #22
