Colin and Sandy, carried by their trusty vessel Papillon. Papillon is a 43ft Montecarlo Sloop. We started our journey in Portimao in Portugal and our sailing route will take us through the Caribbean and the South Pacific.

Raiatea
On Sunday morning 24/7 we left for Raiatea. It was an overnight passage of 130nm. The wind in the shadow of Tahiti was very light, but once clear of it we had a good broad reach all the way to Raiatea. We entered through the reef on the west side. The island is beautiful and we are enjoying all the bays. The village is small but has good shops and a lovely fresh produce market. Our wind generator has packed up so it is in for repairs. So for now we will take a look around some more bays until it is sorted out. We hope to leave here and get to Bora Bora by the weekend. Some time next week we will leave for Tonga.
