We wake up early in the morning and go for a long walk around the campground, which is quite sprawling. The scene is almost magical with yet another warm day, cloudless deep blue sky and trees draped with vibrant fall colors. The leaves fall like snow, covering the ground with a carpet of vivid yellows, oranges and reds. The air is still, the sun is warm and we finally begin to feel a sense of peace. I express my love for Thelma and our first week of the “tiny house” traveling lifestyle.

Later in the morning, we all meet Ida and her puppies, Rocky and Nala, at Borderland State Park for a walk in the woods. Borderland encompasses 1,843 acres surrounding the Ames Mansion, which was built in 1910. If you have a shovel in your house, chances are the brand is “Ames.” Borderland is a beautiful park that has trails for hiking, biking, or horseback riding, a pond with fishing and boating, and facilities for tennis and disc golf. I have fond memories of hiking, running and ice skating at Borderland from when I lived in the area as a teenager. 

Later that evening, we go back to Ida and Wess’ house where Ida cooks a very nice dinner for everyone.

Sailing Tahiti to Australia | Leg 3: Bora Bora to Fiji Passage

Sailing Tahiti to Australia | Leg 3: Bora Bora to Fiji Passage

After having waited in French Polynesia for two and a half months, we excitedly sailed out of Bora Bora around 7:30 am on Saturday, September 4th. Like the rest of French Polynesia, Bora Bora was in COVID lockdown, and we had spent the last week waiting for our departure paperwork to go through all the requisite bureaucratic channels. This required multiple trips to the local gendarmerie (police station), where Grant quickly befriended the two kind and helpful officers, Alex and Bruno.

Sailing Tahiti to Australia | Leg 2: Mo’orea to Bora Bora

Sailing Tahiti to Australia | Leg 2: Mo’orea to Bora Bora

It took us about 24 hours to get from Mo’orea to Bora Bora on August 28 2021. Like the rest of French Polynesia, Bora Bora was in COVID lockdown, and we spent a  week there waiting for our departure paperwork to go through all the requisite bureaucratic channels. This required multiple trips to the local gendarmerie (police station), where Grant quickly befriended the two kind and helpful officers, Alex and Bruno.

We made trips to get water, fuel and provisions, but apart from that we had to stay on the boat. We passed the time snorkeling (saw a giant moray eel!) and inventing new water sports.

Once we received our exit paperwork, we were finally free to leave for Fiji.
