Pics of Eloaua lagoon, St. Matthias Group, Papua New Guinea
Eloaua and Emananus have a shallow lagoon that lies just 90 nm northwest of Kavieng, but hardly any boats make it there. It's a pretty, protected anchorage with great coral outside the lagoon and groups of mantas inside. The locals are friendly, happy to tell stories (PNG for chatting) and eager to trade as supply ships don't call there. We had a steady stream of canoes visiting us!
