I posted this in 2011:.
I remember one night in 1990 we were anchored in a long fjord on the east coast of Tahaa (an island about 20 nm east of Bora Bora) and it was so still that I could see the stars reflected in the ocean around the boat. I got out my Tamaya and took a round of sights using the still ocean surface as an artificial horizon
and got a fix that crossed on our anchorage.
