Detour on the way to Suwarrow
08 August 2011
Just 26 miles from Bora Bora, "The smallest gem", Maupiti, was a treat. We floated over giant mantas at their cleaning station, gently circling a coral head with their cavernous mouths agape for the fishy toothpicks that darted around the wings, under gills and even inside. The occasional nip by an overly zealous cleaner fish caused a shudder and a flap, the graceful ballet temporarily out of synch. Our next stop is Mopelia, 100 miles away.
