Steve
We finally left Eliza and Harifa in the SE corner of Fakarava. Went the whole 6 miles over to our favorite anchorage in French Polynesia, so far at least. We are on the west side of the South Pass of Fakarava. This pass is known for its many sharks that languish in the pass and wait for divers to drift through. We, (I at least) really enjoyed the diving here last year. We hope to get in several dives over the next few days. We just have to keep an eye on the weather which has been a little weird the last few days. Hopefully, the reliable trades will return soon.

Still no regular internet and probably won't have for a week or so more. But, that's ok too.
