View of Niue shore as we
approach. This is one of the few coral islands that is still rising
out of the ocean as opposed to sinking into it, as most do.
|
|
This sea snake
is one of many that we saw hanging out on the nooks, crannies, and caves
on the Niue coral shore.
|
|
We saw this pretty
view of the high coral shores while walking on a seaside access trail.
|
 |
The Larabeck
is sitting on the coral shore!! Just kidding, don't worry, it safe
in deep water on the other side of the coral reef.
|
|
This crane is used
to raise and lower small watercraft in and out of the water on the Alofi
wharf. The Larabeck tender (dinghy) is seen on the right.
|
|
Michael uses the
handcart or "trolley" as it's called in these parts to move the dinghy
under the crane.
|
|
The crane
lifts the dinghy and Michael pushes it over to be lowered into the water.

Four sailing vessels
moored at the Niue Yacht Club. From left to right: Endless,
Akka, Larabeck, and Illusion.

Endless,
a catamaran from Germany, has just arrived from Palmerston.
|
|
We dined on local
food at a restaurant run by a Niue family. The waitstaff were also
the entertainment.
|
|
The dancers invited
audience members to participate.

Akka and
Larabeck sailors enjoy the performance after a delicious dinner.
