Commuting

Sometimes I feel like Kate Winslet in the movie Titanic, as I stand up the bow of our little ferry that takes us between the islands of Tahiti and Moorea across "The Sea Of The Moon." I even pinch myself when absorbing the incredibly and beautiful view ahead while the boat cuts its way through the deep blue Pacific Ocean. It is a thirty minute trip and often we are welcomed by huge families of dancing dolphins.

The Magic Reef

Part of my life's story is living on very remote and isolated islands and atolls. Although some people tend to think it is the equivalent of "paradise," life conditions can be extremely tough with the biggest problem being the lack of water… With that I mean rain water, to shower, wash, do dishes and all the things we normally do when opening a tap and have that precious liquid flowing out. Not so on the atolls but, from the other hand, the lagoon water offers a bonus in housing the most incredible and beautiful creatures!
