Great Snorkel Day -

We had a great snorkel today at the reef. The winds have changed, so we moved to another part of the anchorage. The reef was very alive and had lots of schools of fish at the second one we went to. Saw a couple of sharks, tons of jacks, some groupers, sea urchins, etc. We found a few areas of sand on the reef and were able to stand. Only land you can stand on, but it was 2 feet deep or so and the waves coming over it would push you over, risking hitting the coral or other sharp things, so we didn't stand at Beveridge reef for long.

We also washed 2 loads of laundry (some rainwater and some watermaking). It will be nice to have lots of fresh clothes, bedding, and things. 

The guys are calling for dinner, so I'm off. Also have to take in the second load of laundry before the squall on the horizon hits. But it's a neat place. From my understanding, it's the death of an island. How the Tuamotus will look in x number of years from now.
