Paw Paw - Log Day 179: Our Last Day in French Polynesia

It was with a heavy heart that we cleared out of French Polynesia this morning and lowered their flag on Paw Paw. It seems like only yesterday that Elaine raised it after our Pacific Ocean crossing when we arrived in Hiva Oa. We did, however, enjoy our last day in Bora Bora with a stroll around town and then watched one of the Heiva pirogue races. We also had plenty of visitors stopping by this afternoon to say goodbye. No sooner had Michelle and Neil from YouNevaKnow left when Kiwi Beanz popped over. Tonight we had another Happy Hour at the Maikai Marina and Yacht Club with Nina to say our goodbyes to them with the hope of seeing them again in either Western Samoa or Tonga.For now though, we pray for a safe passage and look forward to a whole new group of islands to explore and their cultures to experience.
