From left to right, “Na Maka”, unknown French boat, “Mahina Tiare III” and “Beach House”. John and Amanda Swan Neal have been doing payed sailor introduction practical voyages for the last 20 plus years. John who is about a year older than I am, sailed his “Mahina Tiare” from the US West Coast to Hawaii about a year before I did a similar sail aboard my Mariner 32, “Triad II” in 1976. He wrote a book about it which I read while sailing to Hawaii. After 34 years, we finally met in this remote Pacific Atoll. John and Amanda had been to Mopelia at least 8 times.
