Thanksgiving | Travel Day | South Bay, FL to Palm Beach Motorcoach Resort, FL

ODOMETER: 80,306 | MILES TRAVELED: 2,361

 

by Grant

Most campgrounds are full at this point and it’s Thanksgiving, so we may have to brave the mosquitos another night. It could be worse. It is a beautiful day, the sun’s shining and it’s going to be 81 today. 

Jana and I decide to take a bike ride along the levee around Lake Okeechobee (7 miles of a 110 mile circumnavigation). During the ride, we receive a call for an opening at an RV resort in  Palm Beach. We book a site, pack up and head off to the Palm Beach Motorcoach Resort. This is another fancy RV resort which is also a condominium property structure with rental lots. We appreciate that they agreed to let Thelma’s 18 year old carcass in their gates as we drive by motor coaches worth $500k to $1MM with Bentley’s, Porsche and Audi R8’s sitting in their drives. They did request to see a photo of her prior to approving our booking ?.

This location is much closer to the beach and we get to cook on the grill without being eaten alive ourselves. Our Thanksgiving dinner was absolutely AWESOME!! Jana is truly the Thanksgiving maestra! It was a true Thanksgiving feast, RV style! We all express how very grateful we are for all we have, and all our friends and family on Thanksgiving.

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

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.
