Today I went ashore and gathered some limes and pamplemoose (type of grapefruit). The mangoes were not ripe. I wanted to hike up a hill to take some photos but the growth was too thick and I could see no path. There was evidence of a hut near the beach but the place was uninhabited. Fortunately, there were no bugs.
The snorkeling was unremarkable although the visibility was perhaps 40 ft. Not much coral, mostly sand and rock. Tomorrow I will leave for Hanamenu Bay on the island of Hiva Oa, only about 12 miles away.
