SUWARROW ATOLL

Around the world with the Aqualunies

Here are the promised photos to go with the last blog I sent.  Jonathan enjoyed his 59th Birthday on our sail across from Bora Bora and Donald Hughes had a 61st Birthday celebration on the Atoll crab hunting and then feasting on them that night as part of his Birthday celebration.  Have now been exploring Nuie in a rented car, such a different island, it is all coral and raised out of the sea three times so far, will sink under the plate within the next 1,500 years!  Lots of chasms, we are on whale watch as the migration has started and a mother and calf are in the bay near our anchorage, lots of sea snakes as well, fortunately their venom is well back so can only cause harm if they get your finger.
