28 September Bora Bora

Wednesday 28 September
Happy birthday to Neil, what a way for us to celebrate (wish he could have been with us) by taking Patrick’s legendary tour in Bora Bora.

No words can describe our swim with the black tip reef sharks, feeding the rays and snorkelling with the coral reef fish followed by lunch on Patrick’s private motu. I’ll let the pictures do the talking.

Sunrise sailing past Raiatea





Approaching Bora Bora












The ceremonial opening of the oven. Unsure if Polynesians call it an imu or not.



Patrick's famous thigh tattoo













The ukelele was made by "Jack" from locally sourced wood








Patrick's daughter (on our canoe) gave us a beautiful Polynesian dance







But before we had all this fun on Patrick's private island this is what we did

Had a swim with the black tip reef sharks

swam with the singrays






Patrick was in command of the catamaran

We were in one of the traditional canoes

We swam with the fish around the coral reef

Difficult to capture the whole thing, but "I love Bora Bora" is spelled out on the sea bed
Thanks to Tracy, here's the complete picture
