We had several blog posts from Manihi (see subsequent posts after first one), and we have lots of pictures. Here is part two. And perhaps we will have to have voting on the best sunset pictures. Some nice ones at the end here, and we got more coming!

Close up of the “rocks” on the beach.

Standing on the low lands. Paeua is behind Christi, the lagoon is to her right, the ocean is to her left (ocean not visible).

Eric is facing the lagoon with the ocean behind him.

A dock with the little building at the end of it. This is on Tatate near the little cluster of bungalows. These little villages with a few bungalows and a dock with a small building dot the lagoon all the way up the shore.

Can you spot Kosmos all alone at her anchorage?

Jean-Paul at his work bench in his work shop. It was all very clean and organized. There was quite the collection of jewelry in that little blue case. Notice the hanging drill he uses to engrave the pearls.

Jean-Paul displays his necklaces on the table and a design engraved on the mother of pearl in the oyster shell. Next to him is the little blonde native boy. 

Jean-Paul engraved Christi’s name on mother of pearl piece. Then got her help to attach and weave it to the necklace.

The sunset. These pictures are all the same sunset, taken a few minutes apart.
