[status] We're anchored in Papeete having arrived back here on Sunday from the Tuamotus. Helen flew home on Tuesday and returns on Sunday with Ngaire and her four children. When the wind finally dropped we had some amazing snorkelling at Anse Amyot on Toau Island. With the incoming tide water clarity was 30m and the fish life exceeded anything I've seen anywhere else. We moved inside the Toau lagoon for a few days and anchored in the SE corner. For most of the time the area is uninhabited. We did a lot of kayaking, paddle boarding, swimming and exploring the very extensive reef system. There was always a cloud of fish under the boat including three blacktip reef sharks. They were all very keen to be fed. Last Saturday on the crossing from Toau to Papeete we landed a 30kg yellowfin tuna so the freezers are now full!
