Putting down roots and awaiting a royal visit

View from our hike in Bora Bora- it's winter here so a chilly 85 degrees In our 10 years of being live-aboards, one thing we've learned is how to go slow. This wasn't always the case. Before we purchased L'ORIENT, we rented sailboats from Moorings and Sunsail a staggering 14 times; in Croatia, Italy, Greece, Turkey, and all over the Caribbean. Our motto was "every day a new island". This was necessary because in 7-10 days, we had to give the rental boat back and return home to our jobs where we made a REAL difference in the interior design and healthcare finance industries. Look Mom, no hands ! A little emptier than most beaches in August But now we're retired active seniors and we've learned that the slower you move, the more you see. Some of our sailing friends poke fun at us for being on the same mooring ball in Bora Bora for 5 weeks without moving.  We are the white boat on the right - home for five weeks But across 5 weeks, you find the best hikes
