Society Islands

Pulling into Bora Bora on Tuesday we had 15+ kts of wind, a great sail to a gorgeous island.

We did a drift snorkel through a coral lagoon on a small motu off of Tahaa. Great visibility, good current, coral and reef fishes everywhere.

Coral and blue blennies

More brilliant clams like we saw in the Tuamotus.

View of Moorea, sailing over from Tahiti last week. The Society Islands are volcanic islands with a fringing coral reef surrounding them. Ocean on the outside, calm lagoon water on the inside. Just mind the pass going in and out!

Awesome surf wave off Raiatea, there were only 2 locals in the line up.

One kilo of live prawns from Moorea came with the instructions "just pop off their heads and boil 'em up!" Mart was in charge of that one- and they were delicious.
