#228 ✍️Another island whose name resonates melodiously. Before the arrival of the Europeans, it was called Vavau, the name of a great warrior and undisputed navigator. Afterwards, the explanations diverge, and it is easy to get lost in the legends. One of the oldest says that this land was the first to emerge from the waters, the first born. Some link the origin of the name Bora Bora to James Cook. During his passage, in 1769, the captain often heard the term "apo'ora'a" (assemblies). But instead of 'apo'aro'a, Cook would have understood Bola Bola, which Tahitianized gives Pora Pora. The "P" would have transformed a little later, with the Americans, into a "B", giving Bora Bora. Today, this pearl of the Pacific, as it appears from the sky, is embedded in the hues of its emerald lagoon, with its Mount Otemanu proudly enthroned in its center, and recalling its volcanic origin. There is so much to learn from each island, each people, each being that populates our planet. All exert an influence on life, and very often, Man attributes an important symbolic and cultural meaning to the beings that surround him. Thus, certain animals are represented in the form of totems, others are associated with religion, still others embody divinities, heroes or spirits. In Polynesian culture, the shark is omnipresent in many tales and legends. The Vaki or Ma'o Mauri, better known as the blacktip shark, is certainly the most widespread species in Polynesian lagoons. It plays a major role in the food chain of coastal ecological systems and when we become aware of its importance for the balance of marine life, its protection becomes crucial. Our cruising area for the last four weeks has extended from Bora Bora to Raiatea, via Tahaa. Small navigations of less than 25 miles, totally adapted to sharing experiences. Bruno and Laurence have given way to Christelle and Nicolas, banana Youtubers eager for adventures (L'or du temps). The days are organized day by day, according to our moods, the whims of the weather and our changing desires. The rain is a frequent guest, but faced with these surprisingly intense and contrasting colors, what does it matter! Did the creator want to strive to achieve perfection in these islands? What a privilege to be able to contemplate so much beauty! We are hypnotized by a school of eagle rays, captivated by a group of mantas, completely disconnected from all current events, and in perfect harmony with this island life where we lack nothing. A Tuareg proverb says: "On the first trip, we discover. On the second, we enrich ourselves." I find this proverb very true! We seize the hidden wealth that each place offers us...
