“No longer is time important. Everyone had taken off their watches. We ate when we felt like it, we swam when we wanted to. We set ourselves no timetable, only when we had to…
I remember for example when we were to visit the pearl farm. Our rendezvous was for 2.30 pm and it was finally not until 3.30 that we got there…Our skipper had very discreetly managed everything without any pressure on us – we had nothing to worry about in terms of a fixed timetable….”

“My only regret: I had to worry about the stores. In fact, I had underestimated the quantities for our first meals and then I was nervous that we would not have enough for the rest of our trip….would there be enough pasta, rice, beer and Tahiti Drink ( a local cocktail)?”
Perhaps they should have opted for the 100% Vacation formula with hostess-cook aboard who would have had everything ready for them when they returned from our excursions.
In the end, the price difference is minimal.
