The snorkeling off of Nao Nao is quite simply amazing. Within a few meters of the boat we found Nemo lurking in his favorite anenome.

Also, incredibly coloured clams embedded in the coral heads.

After a lot of swimming and playing with the Kayaks it was time to move along the coast to Baie Faaroa, but not before some crazy diving by Al and the obligatory "Bernie" regime (as many sit-ups, chin-ups and curls as possible on the bowsprit). Oh yes, we also left the anchorage minus one unaccounted for crew member (Joan decided to go for a quick snorkel just before we upped anchor), but a quick shout and we returned to pick her up!
