Reposition Anchor Early morning, the ship weighed anchor and moved into another Bay in front of Pearl Beach. On one side you get a beautiful view of the Motu and the other, the peaks of Bora Bora.
Movie-Bora Waverunner Anchor at Pearl Beach
WaveRunner Tour of the Island A small group of us took a tender ashore to Viatape and then a 15 minute van ride to a WaveRunner rental business. We got on our Yamaha WaveRunner's and started off, circling the island to our right. The first stop was at the Motu on Pearl Beach. We anchored in about two feet of the crystal clear water for a water break, and while our guide went ashore to gather some coconuts. We then continued on to a private Motu and received a coconut demonstration, which was actually quite informative regarding the uses of coconuts, including a taste sampling of a new, medium aged, and older coconut. The best tasting was the shredded coconut on a half of a banana.

Afternoon Massage After a visit to the Motu, which is just down the beach from Bora Bora Pearl Beach Resort (where I stayed in the pre-cruise), I scheduled another full body massage, which was very relaxing. There's nothing quite like a massage after a full day of activities.

Motu at Pearl Beach The Motu at Pearl Beach was even more scenic than the Motu Mahana stop on Monday. With the volcanic peaks of Bora Bora as a backdrop, the waters slowly changed color from clear near the beach to a greenish blue, then blue in the deeper parts of the bay. There is a very limited ships bar here, and no restroom facilities. Those who went snorkeling here thought it was the best so far.

Pearl Beach I walked down to the Pearl Beach resort for about an hour to say hello to Clara, whom I met the week before. There is private property along the beach, so be careful not to trespass. Walking out a few feet in the water (which is only a foot or so deep even a ways out) seems to be fine.

Late Afternoon Departure The ship weighed anchor around 5:00 p.m. and we were shortly through the small reef lined channel into the open Pacific. The rollers were not that big, but even at only 6-10 knots, the ship began it's characteristic gentle roll.
