The last two days have been relaxing ones, swimming reading and some spa treatments for all. The weather continues to cooperate, clear skies with few clouds. The sea (or lagoon) changed in 24 hours though. Yesterday it was calm enough that it was like swimming in a pool. Today the waves picked up, much more turgid than yesterday. The waves were crashing on the barrier reef so hard a lasting curtain of mist formed. Did not prevent us from swimming though.
The amount of sea life and activity we have seen has been remarkable, fish and rays of many sizes visible from our back porch. Terns diving for food have made fish and rays fly across the water.
It was time to get off the farm for dinner tonight, took the boat to Vaitape to visit Bloody Mary’s for some fresh local fish. Very Polynesian feel complete with sand floors, food was great. The bathrooms were a hoot as well. Made me think what it would be like if the castaways of Gilligan’s Island opened a restaurant…
