What day is it?


WHAT DAY IS IT?

Kaeuhi Atoll - Tuomotus
Thursday, July 28 - Today the lagoon is as calm and clear as a swimming pool. Ian and I went snorkelling at 7:30am and the colours of the coral on the bommies were amazing. The sky is almost cloud free and the sun is reflecting on the motus making the white sand glow against the green coconut palms surrounded by the bright blue lagoon water. It's so beautiful here that Ian and I keep forgetting what day it is and have to keep reminding each other. If we stay here any longer we are going to forget what month it is! We had a nice day yesterday fossicking for shells and watching moray eels and black tip reef sharks swimming in rock pools with the family from Saba. In the afternoon we sat on the beach to watch the sunset and had a delicious BBQ cooked in an open fire. The kids from Saba discovered a new game racing hermit crabs and the adults joined in! At around 9pm Ian and I kayaked back to Faraway in the dark with all our BBQ supplies stacked on Ian's lap. We paddled across the water under a blanket of stars using a torch for navigation so we didn't crash into any bommies.
