Time, outside of the present moment, is an illusion. I have to keep a daily journal noting date and day of the week to keep track. Two days ago, after stopping to snorkel at a section of Rainbow Reef, where the water was calm and crytal clear, we anchored in Honeymoon Bay. There's an exclusive resort, aptly named Remote Resort, owned by Australians, catering to Americans. The menu prices are in U.S. dollars, at U.S. prices. It was fun to walk up and over the hill to have a drink. I figure if I take photos of eco lodges, the trip is a tax write-off.

Yesterday, we had an awesome sail to Matagi Bay, a privately owned island with an even more exclusive resort. Maybe, if we dress up, they'll let us come ashore for dinner. Our anchorage is on the opposite side of the island from the resort buildings, so we have complete privacy.
I made this cool discovery. I found that the shadow of my kayak paddle eliminates the reflections on the water so I can take reef photos. This section of reef was severely damaged in last year's cyclone, but it's coming back.
When the rain stops and the sun comes back, I'll borrow an underwater camera.
