today we visited a pearl farm which was fascinating. We had a talk given by the manager about how cultured pearls are cultivated together with a demonstration using a recently harvested oyster---out popped a beautiful silver grey pearl!
Photos etc to follow.
We move on tomorrow morming to Rangiroa the second biggest atoll in the world---it is about 100 miles to sail so we will leave here about midday with the sun high so that hopefully we can spot the bommies and arrive the next day at midday to enter that lagoon and again avoid the bommies.
