Practical

Positioned at the yard (approximate). The compendium lists toilets, showers, drinkable water, washing machines, Wi-Fi and general service, with yard hours Mon-Fri 7:30-11:30 am and 1:30-5 pm. Wi-Fi was 500 XPF per day or 2,000 XPF per week in 2016 (verify locally); a Wi-Fi antenna got a signal from the anchorage. The yard has also been able to order vegetables and other items from Papeete on the Cobia. Ask whether anchored (not hauled) boats may use water and laundry, and at what price. Mosquitoes are bad ashore.
