March 26 - Rangiroa -- Supposedly. The 4th largest atoll in the world. Ken, Don and Linda enjoyed the morning ashore, while I watched from the deck and enjoyed my book. Not a lot to share as to beauty and unusual traits. There were no mountains, bit there was an airport, several churches and lots of dolphins. Ken, Don and Linda did a brief tour of the island and took the ferry to the other side of the island that wraps itself around the bay. I did not have the impression that I had missed anything of great importance.
Getting into the bay required a bit of skill by the Captain and his crew but once inside the bay, it was very comfortable tendering ashore. Our friend Bill says that after awhile, you begin to feel that "if you have seen one island, you've seen 'em all". We have loved the diversity, enjoyed the beauty and basked in the friendliness but an atoll is an atoll.
We have a day at sea before our last port of call on Tuesday and then, it is sea days until we arrive back inSan Diego.
