I've realized that something important has been missing from this blog; pretty girls sitting in outrigger canoes. These Tahitian girls are using a canoe very similar to my Wa'apa but with the characteristic Tahitian ama and iatos.
Rose and I are leaving soon for another month in Fiji. The weather here in New Zealand is cooling down for the coming winter and I'm looking forward to some warm water. My yellow Tamanu canoe is stowed under a pole house where we'll be staying. A day of putting it all back together and we should be back out on the water looking for big fish to hook and new beaches to explore.
