July 25 - Piti Aau Motu - Bora Bora

Position: S16deg31.93min/W151deg42.35min. We've really enjoyed our anchorage here in the 'swimming pool' - 10' of crystal clear water, but will slowly start to move back toward town, as our time in French Polynesia is coming to a close. Today we enjoyed the clarity of the water when snorkeling nearby. Many rays were sleeping under a thin layer of sand, and others were slowly circling the coral heads. We've cleaned the boat bottom and prop, lubricated a few winches, got a hair cut (M, in the dinghy this time!), and as usual have been doing a lot of reading. We've also enjoyed our friends company on Yolo (You Only Live Once), and Slip Away, both anchored nearby. Overhead, the stars are amazing; the Southern Cross is visible and there's no moon. We've found faster internet connection here than in town, and Sue's uploaded some new picture albums - enjoy!
