In Papeete there is still a military parade by the French rulers, but also the finish line of the Va´a Taie canoe regattas. We decide to see the traditional Polynesian sports in Punaauia, south of our anchorage. Many spectators have arrived despite the rainy weather to watch the competitions. Today, the second day of the competition manly the men fight for the prices. Yesterday the women competed against each other. The traditional Polynesian sports are quite practical sports, which are closely related to the Polynesians daily work in the islands.
Quite a few spectator came despite the rainy weather to watch the spectacle. What a fun day.
