Apparently our anchorage is not one to swim in. We are still in Taiohae Bay, Nuku Hiva. The dock where fisherman clean their daily catch is very nearby, and they throw the guts into the water. The sharks hang around like eager dogs around a table. Unfortunately, the bay is not that clear because of run off from the lush mountains surrounding it. This means that we aren't getting great photos of the sharks, and it also means we can't swim. Its not good to swim where you can't see the sharks and they can't see you. Apparently there are a fair amount of shark incidents around here as the predominant species are Tiger Sharks and Black Tips--both on the more aggressive end of the spectrum. Especially the Tiger sharks.
FYI--we've finally had good enough internet access to load our Galapagos Album--so check out the Photo Gallery link. We probably won't do one for the Marquesas until we sail into the Tuamotus or into Tahiti--so don't get your hopes up.
