31 - Cruising Raiatea and Tahaa
Raiatea and Tahaa are surrounded by one large barrier reef which essential turned two islands into one big adventure. First up was a visit to Marae Taputapuatea in Opoa in Riatea. This is one of the largest and well preserved marae complexes in all of French Polynesia and was a fascinating way to learn more about Polynesian culture. Next up was a personalized guided tour up a river with our new friend James where we learned more about the island and picked up some fruit and coconuts. Our last stop on Raiatea took us up to Uturoa for some reprovisioning and a surprise run in with a spear fishing tournament.
After Uturoa, we headed up to Tahaa. The main attraction was a coral garden which unfortunately turned out to be a bit disappointing, but at least the view from the air turned out to be well worth it!

Out Chasing Stars
Welcome to Out Chasing Stars! We're Admiral Amy and Captain David and we're currently exploring the world on s/v Starry Horizons, our Fountaine Pajot Helia 44 catamaran. We started out (nervously!) watching our boat get launched in La Rochelle, France in October of 2014. Since then we've completed an entire world circumnavigation, sailing over 37,000nm, and documented it all here on YouTube. We started making these videos to show our family and friends what life was like on a sailboat, and we're still amazed that other people have also started following along. It's been so much fun to share our adventures and we love reading all the comments and support! There's a lot of world left to see so don't forget to check back in and subscribe! You can check out our blog: www.outchasingstars.com And of course, we're also on Facebook and Instagram: https://www.facebook.com/outchasingstars/ https://www.instagram.com/outchasingstars/
