Boat in local dock near Fare, Huahine, French Polynesia.

Wayne noticed in French Polynesia the local motor boats don’t have steering wheels.  Instead they use more of a joystick.

We’ve not seen this before in our travels and wonder if it will remain unique to French Polynesia.

Typical seating area for Polynesian motor boats with joystick steering.	.

By the time this posts we expect to be in Maupiti, 30 miles outside Bora Bora French Polynesia. Then it’s on to Tonga with a stop in American Samoa and potentially Cook’s Suwarrow on the way. Will set several catch-up blog posts to run while we’re on passage, internet permitting.
