Manihi

We arrived at the Manihi atoll Thursday morning after an awesome sail from Nuku Hiva. We left Monday morning and made the 470-mile trip super fast. We had to hove-to Wednesday night to delay our arrival. This is our first time here, and we wanted to be sure the sun was high for good eyeball navigation through the pass and around the lagoon.
This place is stunning, with crystal clear, warm water and an abundance of sealife. Several blacktip reef sharks have been checking out the new addition to the lagoon. We snorkeled outside the pass today and enjoyed 80-plus feet of visibility and hundreds of reef fish.
