Tahiti Cruise Aboard the Windstar, December 2004

We had scheduled cruises in Tahiti twice before; one company went bankrupt; the other had an engine fire the week before our departure on the boat we were to take. The third time was the charm; this trip was in honor of our 45th anniversary.

Near the water line the small dock is visible which can be lowered for access to the water from the ship - for water sports, zodiacs, banana boats, and the like.
