Nautical Term ~ of the day ~ Slush Fund
A slushy slurry of fat was obtained by boiling or scraping the empty salted meat storage barrels. This stuff, called “slush,” was often sold ashore by the ship’s cook for the benefit of himself or the crew. The money so derived became known as a “slush fund.”
Bora Bora is called the “Pearl of the Pacific.” Surrounded by a lagoon of turquoise waters and a barrier reef, it is situated in the volcanic crater of its origin. Bora Bora and Tahiti are the most famous of the Society Islands archipelago in French Polynesia which has a total of 5 archipelagos.
Bora Bora’s center is marked by twin peaks with Otemanu, the highest at 2379′.

Not like being underwater, but more colorful than the last two trips 😉
