On a fabulously sunny 14th of July Tuati became the new horse-race champion of Rurutu! He beat his uncle by a good two seconds and set a new course record in a thrill filled final, on the beach in Avera,

It's been quite a year for him, and he will be heading to Tahiti to continue his schooling in August, after getting his junior highschool Diploma here in Rurutu.......well done Tuati!

Rurutu is an island in French Polynesia (Tahiti), Austral Islands, it's been my home since September 2007. I run a guesthouse here with my husband, who is from Rurutu. It's a long way for a Welsh-girl to have come, but I'm enjoying my new life here in Rurutu.....

Rurutu
Our island is a tiny speck in the middle of the Pacific ocean, ~560 km south of Tahiti (22.5degS, 151.3degW), with nothing much between us and the Antarctic. There are ~2200 inhabitants. We're best known for the humpback whales that breed off our fringing reef, between July and October. The island is an ideal sheltered spot for females and their newborn calves to rest and grow, before they make the long journey back to their Antarctic feeding grounds. The whales hang-out just outside the reef, and you can see them easily from the shore - it's pretty magical!
