This is Suwarrow, part of the Cook Islands. It is an atoll that is a marine reserve, so only a park warden and his family live here for 6 months of the year. There are about 7 islands in this atoll. We anchored behind one of them.

Sea urchin skeleton.

Crystal clear water has lots of fish and sharks.

A ship wreck on the reef is decaying slowly. Jim is looking for spare parts.

All photos taken in Suwarrow:

Coconut crab. Can climb coconut trees and eat coconuts.

Baby frigate bird.

There are no people on this island, only birds. They fill the air with chirps as they fly.
