| We went fishing for parrot fish while we were on Palmerston Atoll. This is our host family and Mart reeling in the gill net. We harvested about 75 fish from the net, which they both eat and export to the Cook Islands. See pics below. |
 |
| Diving on Niue, (AKA The Rock) is dramatic as there is no protected atoll, just a coral uplift island in the middle of the Pacific. The visibility is awesome, up to 100m regularly. I've never seen such clear, blue water. |
 |
| There were several cave formations and caverns to swim through |
 |
| Swim through at about 40 feet. |
 |
| Humpback whales come from Antarctica each winter season to breed. This one was surfacing 50 feet from Pau Hana. Last night we were awakened several times by the blow hole action of nearby sleeping whales. |
 |
Gorgeous swimming holes all over the island |
 |
| We got a Go Pro camera in Tahiti, yeah! |

| Martin tried to spear a parrot fish with this handmade spear that weighed about 30 lbs. He got an A for effort. |
We'll be heading for Tonga in a couple days, just waiting for some nasty weather to blow through. Hope everyone's well!
