Mom! in Dinghy
Isn't my mom cute!! The dinghy is how we get from the boat to land, when not docked at say a marina.

Brian, pensive
Actually, mostly just enjoying the beer in his hand!

GemBrit on the seas
Gorgeous, eh?

The Rock - a floating bar!
This boat is actually a BAR that sails around the bay of islands, partying, and occasionally doing things like kayaking to a near-by island for a bit, etc.

Approaching Motuarohita, aka Robiton
This is coming into Twin Lagoon Bay. One of my fav islands. We explored the teeny island then anchored here for the night.

Mom! in Dinghy 2
This was my first time in the dinghy. We then motored, as they say, over to Motuarohita island in the background.

View on the hike up the mini-mountain.

View from Motuarohita 2
This picture evokes the feeling of night, but it was bright day. It was accidentally way over exposed, but I like the effect - it accentuates the feeling of the sea and sky being interlinked, both full of reverberating patterns.

View from Motuarohita 3
An excellent picture looking down on some of the lagoons. Soon Motuarohita will be not one but many islands! We are on one of the two peaks. Behind us is just sea. Brian is lounging on the bench on the platform at the top.

Sunset at Motuarohita
This was our view as we ate dinner back on the boat.
