Day 143. May 24, 2016. SEA DAY 1/2. Enroute to Raiatea, French Polynesia on the Azure Seas

First of 2 sea days.  We are in the middle of the South Pacific, on our way to Tahiti and her islands, that make up the largest marine territory in the world, covering an area of 5.5 million square kilometers ( equivalent to the land area of Europe).  The land above the sea only represents 4,000 km spread over 118 islands and 5 archipelagos:  the Marquesas to the north, the Society Islands and the Tuamotu in the centre, the Austral Islands to the south, and the Gambier to the South East.  Each one has its own unique landscape from the green volcanic islands to the turquoise blue coral atolls.
Three words of welcome: "La Ora Na"  "Maeva" and "Manava" is how the Polynesians greet their visitors. This legendary is symbolically shown on your arrival, by songs accompanied by guitars and ukuleles, and the gift of a Tahitian flower, the emblem of Tahiti and her islands.
Our last nights entertainer.
