We had the great fortune in meeting a Canadian family from Toronto area in Bora-Bora. Cornelia and Michael with their three children Zoe (13), Maia (11) and Liam (9) on s/v Gromit. Both Dinis and myself love children and had a great time interacting with the children and their parents. I think it is a great experience for these children learning and experiencing different cultures and languages.
With children, life is never boring and we played card games, snorkeled, watched the kids sailing on a hobby cat, ate great food that they prepared. On our last night before leaving Bora-Bora, Michael caught a big fish, all exited they dinghied over, for us to help identify the fish. It was a big eye jack fish. Dinis and Michael went back to s/v Gromit to clean and fillet the fish. Cornelia and the kids stayed with me and we watched one of the Hornblower movies. We are missing the Gromiteers, but our paths will cross again.
Both sailing vessels left Sunday 24 July from Bora-Bora, although to different destinations. s/v Gromit heading to Suwarrow Atoll and us to Palmerston Atoll. Both Atolls are around 680 nm from Bora-Bora, but Suwarrow in a north-west direction and Palmerston in a south-west direction.
