Sunday, 6 May (Day 5)

Day 4 was another productive work day:
Dingy fully functional. 
Sails rigged.
Bilge pumps fixed and tested. 
Anchor Windlass fixed and tested.
More stores & provisions brought on & stored. 
Radar tested.
And more, I'm sure... 

This morning we had a hearty breakfast of potatoes & eggs and papaya. And started getting ready to leave the dock!!
clearing shore power and water, taking ashore our rubbish,
Securing the dingy
Securing the decks and hatches 
Checking instruments 
Checking the steering AGAIN!
Checking the weather. 
And finally leaving the dock before 9 am. 
Currently, we are tied up at the fuel dock in town with nearly fuel tanks of hopefully excellelent quality fuel..   The guys went to do what may or may not be our final shopping trip. (Probably not, we intend to go to the island of Tahiti, city Papete, for last port)
And we pulled off the dock without incident in a nice 10 kn headwind about 1045 am
 Bora Bora bound!!!
