Tuamotu



I’ve been a bit remiss about keeping my blog up to date as Tim has done a great job posting from Panama to Polynesia. Today Tim and Heather left Shimshal (after 4,869 miles) to further their diving adventures in the western Tuamotu. They have been great guests aboard Shimshal. It’s just Sally and me between here (Makemo) and Society Islands so I thought I’d mark the occasion with a dump of my favourite photos of the Tuamotu so far.
