Guess what today Dave swam with whales - it was amazing. We tracked a mother and her calf for quite some time in the dinghy and then Dave slid overboard while I was on camera duty (my turn next time :-)). We also saw two huge turtles.

We are at the eastern Hapais - at an island on the "Barrier Reef" called Uiha. We hope to go and find more painted lobsters tomorrow at a nearby island and catch some more mahi mahi en route - we have "only" had tuna lately. We will be here for a few days - using it as a base while we explore the area - and will then probably head north to the Vavau'us.
