Not much sealife left. The Kuna bring things that at the largest look too small to keep and on the small end look aquarium size. BBq island is now occupied and has a small restaurant. All islands that are not maintained have a tremendous amount of trash on the ocean facing side. On the plus side all the anchorages are crowded. Looks like you were there for rainy season so maybe less crowded.

The boys can do this for hours. It did attract the attention of a Tiger Shark in Raiatea though. Thankfully the water was clear so they spotted it. Dylan said to me, 'Dad, look there's a Tiger Shark here, I have always wanted to swim with one of them.' Of course I made them both get out of the water right away. The Tiger Shark had come to see what all the splashing was about.

@@SailingMokara Sharks will never attack people. No sane animal would attack or even approach an unfamiliar creature. But the problem with sharks is the same as with rhinos - their vision is not too good. So when a shark attacks a human it's only by mistake.

Good Nz morning Mokara tribe. The term South Pacific refers I believe to every island South of Hawaii. But when this 77yr teenager was much younger, we understood that the Society Islands was a reference point for the term South Pacific. In our youth it was Islands with dusky maidens, coconut palms waving in the trade winds, white coral beaches, beautiful lagoons with plenty of fish to spear, etc. And not forgetting the inter-island trading schooners. Well I've seen photos, through National Geographic. But now?? ? And back to 21st century, have you ever seen the green flash as the sun drops below the horizon. Apparently its a real phenomenon. Anyway have a great Christmas and a HNY2024. All the very best from down here.

We had to motor Mokara between 2 concrete walls and pretty much had no space for fenders so used pool noodles at the tightest points.
