Just in the name of accuracy, according to my framed map of the Paul Guagin Cruise it is 139 Nautical Miles from Papeete to Bora Bora.
During the three cruises on the PG the ship never left early from Papeete. Maybe the negative press will discourage some folks from taking the PG or better yet encourage RSSC to make some specials available( free air fare plus 2 for 1).
Ok, I am dreaming but every one of our three trips on the PG was pure heaven.
