Day 247, Year 1: A Weather Flip-Flop
Date: Wednesday, June 21, 2006
Weather: Cloudy, Rainy, and Cool (79 degrees)
Location: Anchored Near Marina Taina, Papeete, Tahiti
Our plans to move the boat closer to the reef and to get fuel and water today had to be put on hold. A cold front from the southern ocean has flipped the weather here from sunny and beautiful to cloudy and rainy. It feels cool, but the temperature is still 79 degrees at 9:45 in the evening. I guess it is really not cool, but it does feel that way.
We will have to try again to move the boat tomorrow. We turned our attention today to getting the boat ready for company and I took advantage of the cooler weather to bake bread and make granola. I also worked on organizing pictures for the website and hope to get to a fast connection tomorrow to send those.
This weather is supposed to stay with us for a few days, but I’m hoping there will be a bit of sunshine for Mary Ellen and Lee’s first weekend in French Polynesia.
