CO2 Refills
CO2 Refills DIY
Island: Tahiti
4-2023 Price is still 4960xpf delivery 1469xpf and tax +16% 5 kg is will fill about 9 bottles.
2-2022 About dry ice and filling soda stream bottles in Tahiti... My husband went this morning (you should arrange the date and time with Gaspac). He is back and this is what he got and how he is doing it: he got pellets shape dry ice and now he is filling 400gr per bottle. Of course, he removed the top of the bottles. More info: 5kg is min to buy. With 5kg with filled 8 bottles and we have some leftovers.
The price for 5kg = $49.60
2-20 Additional info I am planning to buy carbon dioxide CO2 dry ice to fill Sodastream bottles in Tahiti. Any top fitting can be filled including our US style tops. We have 2 bottles and the minimum purchase will fill about 8 bottles. I think last time the total cost was about 5000 francs. So about 6 USD per 330g bottle.
Dry ice available in Papeete. See entry for GazPac under same heading
Lots of You Tube videos on how to refill your bottle. Very Easy

If you put in the weight stated on the label. Sometimes 450g, 425g or 410g. All these different weights claim to make 60 litres of drink! Presumably more or less fizzy.
You need to weigh the bottle then zero the scales to make sure you don't overfill
Comments from DV Dash filling in NZ I thought we ordered βpelletsβ both times. The first time we got lovely βtubesβ of dry ice we could easily pick up with tongs and drop in, about the size of glue sticks. This past time we got a box full of what looked more like frozen rice! (Different distributor) it was a bit more cumbersome to funnel into canister, but it worked. A kitchen or postal scale helps. You can put empty canister on it and zero scale and add dry ice to the proper amount. Kind of fun like a high school science lab day!

Call ahead to schedule appointment They package industrial and food grade gases. CO2 cylinder refill and dry ice. You need to call them because they don't process every product every day. 2-2022 5kg is min to buy. With 5kg with filled 8 bottles and we have some leftovers. The price for 5kg = $40
8-2020 Cruisers reported filling tanks with Co2 for beverages
Andrew Nelson reports Gazpac is the answer. You need to unscrew the top and fill with the correct weight of dry ice( from Gazpac) . Very easy and cheap. Minimum purchase fills about 6 bottles app 5000xp

Ocean Sails Tahiti
Island: Tahiti
Michel 689-8771-1686 (oceansailstahiti@gmail.com) 9-2019 SV Sugar Shack We had Oceans Sails (Michel Pegart Maitre Voilier) do repair work on our sail bag and he did not do a good job. After visiting his sail loft and speaking to him about types of threads used and process, we felt confident heβd do good work. We asked him to quote the repairs on our sail bag (strengthen and reinforce) and small spinnaker (we blew out clew). The sail bag was the priority as we had a backup π spinnaker.With the sail bag we asked him to patch the small holes, reinforce all stitching, reinforce the batten sleeves, and re-attach our name flap which came off. He said it would be βno problem, easy job, and could be done in a few weeks at very little money.β Several weeks later, my husband went to pick it up and paid $600 (more than a little money to us, but our bad for not getting an exact quote first). When my husband went to install the sail bag, he noticed several areas had the new stitching already coming out (Michel failed to lock stitch the beginning and ends). In addition, in several places the stitching was crooked when it should have been straight. Unfortunately, we had guests coming and needed the sail bag up. So, my husband finished with the install before we had to leave. In addition, with the spinnaker he said it would cost well over $1,000 to repair or he would have to cut it down and charge a little less. This is an 18-year-old spinnaker so it was not worth the cost to repair. We took it back. We were very disappointed in the work from Ocean Sails. We had higher expectations since he had several good reviews, the loft was professional and he βsaid all the right things.β Very poor craftsmanship and work. Airborne 9-2018 We had him take our sails down and fix up any tears or chafing on them (14,500 nm), and he fixed our SS bracket that lifts our main sail (rounded and polished it to stop the cutting action it had at the head of the main when it was down), he rounded the ends of our battens so that they now slip into the pockets with little effort. He fixed the lazy jack sail bag that had gotten frayed on a passage when the second reef line became tangled around the end. He did a great job of repairing it and making sure that it did not look like a repair at all. It was a brand new North Sail cradle (they donβt like it when you refer to it as a bag), so we wanted to make sure it did not look like it had been repaired, and Michel made it look better than new He also is building an enclosure for the fly bridge stair wells on our L450 to stop rain from soaking the rear cockpit. He speaks English and French and is very personable. He charges about what everyone else in Tahiti charges (about $60/hr). He is very busy in high season, but seems to have more time in low season.

If you happen to be in Cooks Bay Moorea and are in DESPERATE need for a baby sitter,
Orchilea Maeva Faaruia-Smith is an amazing woman and she is based in Maharepa. I haven't transitioned
very gracefully into juggling parenthood / cruising/boat maintenance / working quite as well as some of
my peers. How others do it so well is a feat and I have nothing but respect for those peeps. But if you're
ever in need of a sitter to watch your little loves as if they were family while you get stuff done onboard,
Maeva is gracious, kind, she sends pics throughout the day of the kids, and she works with your budget.
I truly believe she just....loves children, and that was exactly what we needed in a pinch for our 2 year
old and 2 month old.

They do have large tins of ground Folgers coffee. Careefour Papeete - stocks coffee beans Champion - Papeete usually stocks coffee and some beans Polynesian Trading Company (Kirkland Products) used to carry coffee beans (1-19) Champion - Mo'orea (Viarae) often has coffee beans. Super U Mo'orea Cooks Bay also stocks coffee beans but often sells out But like anything if you see it buy it!

SV Hedonism Serge and Lionel both speak good English and are very accommodating. This place was recommended to me by another computer repair shop! I called them from the first shop and they stuck around over lunch to wait for me to arrive. This is not a computer sales store. These guys are in the repair business and are out on repair calls to various businesses each day so it is imperative to call first to be sure they are in the shop. They work on Dell, Toshiba, Lenovo and so on... My Dell computer fried the motherboard. They trouble shot it and then gave me the "bad news". Theypointed out it would take a couple of weeks to get it in from the US. I decided to buy a new computer back home and have it shipped along with a motherboard. They did NOT charge me anything for the trouble shooting. Just happy when I said I would bring it in when it arrived for them to install. When they did, the charge was about 10600 XPF.

If the result is positive, you will usually be told to go home and self-isolate.

If the result is negative, they will send the second of the two samples for testing, which takes up to 2 days.

Test results are usually available online within 48 hours but many have been available sooner. You will receive a text once your results are available. 1-21 Part 2 submitted by SV Kini "I felt unwell a few days before Christmas, on a Saturday. I phoned the 15 (SAMU= emergencies), told about my symptoms, the doctor on duty said they might be Covid, instructed me to take paracetamol, and get tested on the Monday. There is a "Kiosque SantΓ©" in front of Paofai Temple. There was zero queue, I was attended by 3 friendly nurses all for myself. Nothing to pay. They did the antigenic test first, which gives a result in 20', or proves nothing, which was the case. Then PCR. Result 2 days later by sms (I was negative). All quick, free, easy and friendly."
