Private Island Again


This little island is Nanuyakoto. It belongs to a retired Japanese pearl diver and visitors are not allowed, except for passengers on Captain Cook boats. We had a great morning there, Mum got a special Mabe pearl and Scruffy and I hunted for Blackbear the Terrible's treasure. You can walk right around the island in about half an hour, or if you are a small bear you can be carried around in your Dad's pocket. The island has a huge reef around it and at low tide it is very difficult to get to the actual island. You can see some of the buildings. There a couple of houses and a big workshop. The best way to see them is on Google Earth. When we left Nanuyakoto the boat had to travel along a series of deep channels between big reefs. Scruff and I hadn't seen anything quite like this before so we went up to the sundeck and yelled instructions to the wheelhouse. I do love cruising.
