We saw Jon off for Papeete today; thankfully the airport there has reopened and resumed regular flights after being shut down by a strike in Tahiti. How many people can say they've been dropped off at the airstrip by dinghy! His visit seemed to go by so quickly, and we all have great memories of scuba dives here at Fakarava as well as at Toau, snorkeling, shelling, farkel games, back gammon games, and introducing him to other cruisers. The cruising lifestyle is so different than most others, and Jon adapted to ours and had a chance to unwind and relax after completing a very busy first year of medical school at the University of Central Florida. The V berth sure looks empty without him! We took lots of pictures, shared many great meals and enjoyed his company immensely! He returns to Florida rested and tanned, and ready to resume life in the big city!
