4th of July in French Polynesia

Even though we are far, far away from America, we still celebrated our country's independence in style. Well, maybe not quite in style but we sure had fun! Our Canadian, South African and Kiwi (New Zealander) friends cheered us on as we sang a medley of America's top patriotic songs while we hula danced on the foredeck with the Tahitian mountains in the background. (The video will appear on Shutterfly soon!) Not to be outdone by our friends Up North (Wisconsin), we held our own summer salad contest, won by yours truly! (FINALLY!) Real fireworks were substituted for those couples who chose to create them in the privacy of their own boats. It was a night to remember!
