Below are pictures from our stay in the lagoon of Fakarava atoll.
 
Picture 1 - View from the boat in our peaceful Tiketite anchorage.
 
Picture 2 - James, captain of Cleone, and young Will paying us a visit in their car.
 
Picture 3 - View from the boat in the anchorage near the tiny village of Tetamanu by the southern pass into the Fakarava lagoon.
 
Picture 4 - View from the Tetamanu shore of Viva at anchor in the lagoon.
 
Picture 5 - One of the small houses in the tiny village of Tetamanu.  Note the solar panels.  No shortage of sun here.
 
Picture 6 - The famous Norfy in the companionway of Cleone getting a breath of cooler air while cooking a fabulous meal for all of us in the steaming hot galley.  Note the hairless chest under the apron.
 
Picture 7 - Shortly before we pulled up anchor to leave Fakarava for Tahiti, three black tipped reef sharks paid our boat a visit.  This is the same type of shark we saw while snorkeling near the reef pass the day before.  The picture is a little unclear as the shark is under the water, but we had a nice view of all three of them from the boat.
