Range-A-Roa

From Tahanea we moved onto Fakarava, but we were only able to stay one night.  As soon as we anchored we got the weather report and it was bad, the wind was going to turn around, coming from the north-west instead of the east, right where we want to go!  We decide we need to leave so that we can get to Range-a-roa before our friends arrive, but we are leaving just before Remis birthday so it's a bittersweet goodbye.

We make the 2 day passage to Range-a-roa into 11/2 days and get in late in the morning.  We go snorkeling before exploring the town and we see lots of fish but its too deep for us to see much coral.  The town is split into 2 parts, one on each side of the pass, on our side we find 2 good grocery stores and 3 restaurants, one with fast internet.

Dolphins jump in the pass

The day after we arrived we focused a lot on school because we had been missing lots.  in the afternoon we spent time at the internet cafe, but we got held up by the rain and we were late getting back home.  All in all i'm liking Range-a-roa.
