Ben and I again took turns with the spear gun with little luck. The gun we have has two problems. One is that I bought a short one principally to shoot lobsters which we haven’t seen. Second there is only one of it. I have been eying the locally available spear guns here in Polynesia and they are surprisingly cheap.<\/p>\n
When we returned to the boat I felt the growth on the hulls had gone too far so stayed in the water for another hour scraping it away. Our paint is rapidly losing the battle against the weed. Furthermore, each time I use the metal scraper (the only one that works) to attack the weed, more paint is removed. My intention was to repaint before we left NZ but now we may have to repaint on arrival. We’ll see.<\/p>\n
After lunch we motored around to Uturoa using only stored energy. Recently we’ve only had to run the generator for washes managing to limit ourselves to stored amps and wind power. Always nice when we get a good run like this.<\/p>\n
After arrival we went ashore to explore the town. We soon found a hardware store that had an array of spear guns on sale. I couldn’t resist and bought one twice the size of my current one for less than I had paid for the first. We also bought some more metal scrapers so more than one of us can work on the weeds on the boat. The town was quite nice and catered more for locals than tourists. We also found the location where the trail up to the top of the nearby hill started.<\/p>\n
We no longer have our free internet so we’re now back to grabbing time in small slices. It was good while it lasted.<\/p>\n
This morning we plan to hike up the hill. We may move north to Taha’a this afternoon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
