Paw Paw - Log Day 184: A Very Special Place



It is difficult to explain how we feel about Surwarrow. We could say we're enchanted by it. It is a very special place, but what makes it extra special for us is that we are two of only four people in the entire world that occupy it at the moment. It is a very strange feeling knowing that we are the only people out here, floating in a small lagoon, basically in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. From Paw Paw we can see the entire circumference of the atoll with the small motos dotted along the reef. Today, even after five days at sea, we didn't think of heading to land. Instead we were quite happy to stay aboard, floating just off Anchorage Island and watch the sealife, the birdlife and the most amazing colours of the water. Although The Society Islands had spectacular waters, the difference here is that the water changes different colours as the day progresses and the sky is multiple shades of the clearest blues as well. We have never seen anything like it. We're not sure the photos do it any justice. Then, add a turtle that just pops up to take a peek or all the fish that Roy found curiously examining our anchor when he snorkeled to check it and you know you're in a very special place indeed!
