After a few days anchored off the village we decided to sail west inside the atoll to find another anchorage. We had a great sail and found a nice place to anchor about 15 miles west. The next day we moved about two miles and anchored in front of a perfect south pacific beach.
Wonderful down wind sail:
…to here:
moonrise:
Then we found our perfect private beach:
With no bad weather forecast for the next few days, we set up camp:
We swam, explored, enjoyed the beach, and cooked dinner over the fire:
At night these little hermit crabs come out and wander all over the place:
We did some snorkeling around the big coral heads and found these molluscs growing in the coral:
Their colors were so bright:
nice fish too:
…and coral:
…and the grouper come out to see you!
…and the sharks come out to see you!
more to follow!
