Ever since yachtsmen began sail ing round the world for pleasure— and they’ve been doing it now for close on 100 years — Robinson’s Cove in Papetoai Bay, Moorea, has been one of their favourite South Seas anchorages. This is hardly surprising, as the scenery and atmosphere in Papetoai Bay is as near to a yachts man’s idea of paradise as he is likely to find. Captain Cook was the first European to discover this idyllic spot; but no one now seems to know who Robinson was who gave his name to the yachtsmen’s cove. Photo: James Anderson.
