Today I completed the trip to the south end of Fakarava Atoll and anchored with five other boats near the abandoned village of Tetamanu. Shortly after arrival I joined the crew of another boar to do a drift snorkel trip through the south entrance to the lagoon during incoming (flood) current. The visibility was over 100 ft. All we had to do was hang on to ropes from the inflatable and let the current take us into the lagoon. There were a couple of huge manta rays swimming below us and a school of about 12 gray sharks just within sight. What a remarkable trip!

Tomorrow I will explore the old village and do another snorkel trip. I am still looking for bonefish but the prospects here do not look so good.
