Chez Fay adds rotating view

Moorea 1
Out of the marina and into Cook's Bay on Moorea. Door to door it was about a three hour trip, but what a change! Chez Fay has always had great food, but now she's added a rotating view!

The bay is ringed with mountains that rise dramatically from sea level to 3,000' - 4,000'. The mild katabatic winds swirl within the bay and cause the view to constantly change as we rotate around the essentially placid water. Upon arrival we shared the bay with just two other boats, and the one in this photo departed this morning, later replaced by a large catamaran.

Last night Chez Fay started with an appetizer of feta, kalmata olives and Rustic Bakery flat breads while I enjoyed a gin and tonic and Fay had a glass of Chilean chardonnay. Then moving on to dinner she served a lovely risotto with a side of zucchini and tomatoes, complemented by a white Burgundy. This restaurant never disappoints!
