Yikes, Sharks!

August 17, 1900
Anchored east side of Bora in 10' by Pt. Faroone

Aloha everyone, we continue to have a great time. We had a great dinner last night, listened to some music and hit the sack at an early hour. I have a bit of chest congestion and minor hack, but not letting it slow me down. We were up and at um this morning and headed in to the Lagoonarium. This is an area that has been screened off that contains numerous sharks, rays, ulua, papio, etc., and all sorts of tropical fish. It is relatively shallow and somewhat like diving into a giant aquarium. But it is very nice, safe and secure. Jane was a bit hesitant to get in with sharks, but she did,and had a great time. We could touch the rays. Back to the boat, I called re:outboard and was told it should be ready tomorrow, so we headed further south and anchored in 10' of crystal clear water just inside pt Faroone. We had some corn beef and cabbage for dinner, played some cards (oh Hell), and had just a delightful time. Tomorrow, we head back to Vaitape, get the engine, groceries and some window shopping. Plan is to head back to Raiatea on Wed. Until then, hope you all are enjoying your life and are doing well. Aloha, David and Karin
