August 8

This morning we picked up anchor at about 9am after Danny returned from the nearby village where he got a bag of ice and made some phone calls. We are heading South inside the lagoon toward the NW corner of Raiatea where there is a nice pass we can anchor near and possibly dive.

We anchored near the double pass - Teavapiti and Teavarua at just before noon. The anchorage is behind the motu which forms the two passes. One to the North of it and one to the South. We plan to dive here today and tomorrow before moving on, though we may stay until Saturday if the diving is really good.
