Fakarava Atoll - Tuamotu

Posted 27 June 2010

We spend 4 days getting all the little boat chores done and then made our way to the south of the Atoll. We were quite a few boats at anchor and met a lovely South African family traveling on a catamaran called Malakite. We spend some time having a proper 'braai' on the beach and catching up on news from home.

Fakarava so far was the best place for snorkeling, we saw hundreds of sharks which included black tip, white tip and grey sharks. My highlight was these huge Napoleon fish, gracious swimmers and just absolutely beautiful. We spend lots of time in the water swimming between all these beautiful fishes. We took lots of photos and videos and I will post it as soon as we are back in internet land.

We are running low on everything from propane, petrol for the dinghy, provisioning and fresh produce, so we have to leave this beautiful archipelago tomorrow morning Tuesday 28 June for Tahiti. It is 250 nm from here, so should take us 2 days to arrive.
