Northern Lights

Island: Tahiti

2-2024. SV Auntie The inventory of Northern Lights parts available in French Polynesia is smaller than small.) Northern Lights parts come out of Seattle, Washington, but you cannot order direct from them. The quickest (and least expensive) way to get parts sent to French Polynesia from US is to order from Richard at Costal Marine. Costal Marine is right next door to Northern Lights in Seattle, they have a great working relationship, and most parts can be sent same day. Another bonus, Northern Lights - Costal Marine can ship directly to Tahiti (98713) using USPS International Priority which is considerably less expensive than DHL or FedEx, and takes the same amount of time. As usual, from Papeete, Tahiti Crew can pay customs and ship to any other island. Costal Marine: πŸ“ž +12067843703

Glasses (prescription)

Cathedral Area

Island: Tahiti

See Opticians

There are two eye glass places bordering on the Cathedral square in city center. One is directly across from the front next to Foodie's Market. The second is across from Foodies and to the left before you get to Air Tahiti office. For more complex prescriptions like bi-focal, no line, sensa gray etc the glasses have to be made in France. But for reading glasses and more straight fwd prescription they can be made in papeete.
