In the lee of Bora Bora's mighty peak, the water of the main bay was protected from the wind, but it was over 100ft deep here, and few boats wanted to anchor in such depths.

What we did want was to go around to the windward side to the huge lagoon, famous for underwater beauty, but the strong winds kept us away.
