Greetings
from Fakarava,
We are at
Latitude 16° 03.57’ S and Longitude 145° 37.90’ W inside the massive lagoon of
Fakarava. We entered the lagoon at
6:00AM, about an hour after sunrise. The
water is an amazing shade of aquamarine but it is a little turbid.
We took a
tender into shore in the tiny little village of Rotoava and walked a mile to a
small beach to do some snorkeling. We saw
one area with some quite large sharks circling around near the shore, maybe 5
or 6 feet long. There were little
markets, jewelry shops and a church along the single narrow road and a few
little homes with gorgeous plumeria and views out to our ship. The
lagoon is calm and many private yachts, catamerans and sail boats are anchored
about. People on holiday in the French
Polynesians like us.
Hope you enjoy
the photos. We sail for Bora Bora at
2:00PM and will be anchored there tomorrow morning by 10:00AM. We will be back to Fakarava on Christmas Day.
God Bless
you all,
Jud and
Vicki
