Catch of the day for sale by roadside.

Now in busy bustling Papeete.After a bit of a rough passage we managed to get the last mooring at the Tahiti yacht club, which is a good bit of luck as Papeete is loaded to the max with boats.

We've been whizzing around on the buses and on our bikes,sight seeing & getting some of our jobs done.We managed to get a new piece of metal tube to try and fix our broken pole. It was not easy first we had to find a place that sold metal poles, we found a plastic window factory, that had some poles ( probably drainpipes) then the language barrier, then trying to get holes drilled in the pole, then transporting a 4 metre long pole in a dingy, for several miles!! 

After all that work we washed tons of laundry in the yacht club washing machine, then washed the boat from stem to stern. We did however manage to fit in a couple of beers on the waterfront in Papeete, watching the world go by.

Off to Moorea tomorrow.
