We had a wonderful snorkel yesterday late morning right off of the reef that is behind us. Others saw a few mantas deep inside the blue water along the wall of the reef, but they were very deep and quite far down. The snorkeling was fabulous in terms of beautiful, colorful coral, many varieties altogether, and we hope to go back out there this morning and take some pictures. There were fewer fish than what we have seen in our journeys, but the coral garden was a wonderland of incredible colors. It is as if you are wandering through a lush valley of many different flowers, each with its own different pattern and colors. WOW! What a treat to be able to float along in comfortable calm clear warmish water just watching in wonder. We are so fortunate.
Later on we tried to find Richard's son in the little town across from here, but he and Francois were over at the motu somewhere near where we are anchored. We did find his house and Karen, Richard's dear friend who is visiting from San Diego, and met some of the neighborhood kids. We were able to tie up to the public dock only because we said we were looking for Kahai, who seems to be Bora Bora's young hero who won the regional basketball and fishing tournaments for them.
Today we might move a ways down toward the Southeast end to find other snorkeling, but we hate to leave our new friends on Quixotic, as well as John and Linda on Nakia and Robert and Kelita on Freedom. When we leave to go back to the Bora Bora Yacht Club, we will be saying good-bye to them; they are all heading back to Hawaii for the season. We have so many fond memories with Freedom, and it has been great traveling with them. "See you somewhere down the road" is a common cruising line. We will miss them all. Pass on our love to all. Bye for now, Suzi
