Pukarua
Pukarua, sometimes also listed as "Pukaruha" (especially on French maps), is a coral atoll in the eastern Tuamotu Archipelago. The nearest atoll, Reao, is located 48 km to the ESE.
Pukarua Atoll is 17 km long and its maximum width is 4.5 km. It has a long island on its northeastern reef, shaped somewhat like a fish hook, as well as a number of small islands. The atoll is surrounded by a coral reef without a proper passage. There is a pier from which small to medium-sized ships can be launched.
The only village is Marautagaroa, populated by about 100 inhabitants.
The atoll's lagoon is interesting for snorkelers because of the presence of giant clams.
History
Pukarua Atoll was first visited by Europeans in 1797, when British mariner James Wilson was sailing from Tongatapu to the Marquesas on ship Duff. He found Pukarua uninhabited, but saw the tokens of former occupancy. Wilson named Pukarua "Searle Island" after a friend he had in the Transport office in England.
Thirty years later another British explorer, Frederick Beechey, found Pukarua inhabited by Polynesians.

Love You Till I Die
by: BaccaraLove you till I die
I think I'm really gonna love you till I die
Somehow you make me wanna love you till I die
I've never known a love to last
I've seen a lot of loves go past
I don't know how, but I know why
I'm gonna love you till I die
Love you till I die
I think I'm really gonna love you till I die
It's no use fighting it and I won't even try
Your ways are hypnotizing me
I feel in chains and I feel free
I don't know how, but I know why
I'm gonna love you till I die
Love you till I die
My love will be a river never running dry
Deep as the deepest ocean, like a mountain high
A summer breathe, a thunderstorm
It's our romance that keeps me warm
It's not confession but it's true
I dedicate my life to you
You will make me cry
You'll make me sing and you will give me wings to fly
I will believe you and I'm sure that you will lie
I don't expect a wedding ring
'Cause it's a never lasting thing
And there's no power to steal me now
Apart from those to clear my
Love you till I die
I think I'm really gonna love you till I die,
Somehow you make me wanna love you till I die
I've never known a love to last
I've seen a lot of loves go past
I don't know how, but I know why
I'm gonna love you till I die
I don't know how, but I know why
I'm gonna love you till I die
Love you till I die
I think I'm really gonna love you till I die,
Somehow you make me wanna love you till I die
I've never known a love to last
I've seen a lot of loves go past
I don't know how, but I know why
I'm gonna love you till I die
I don't know how, but I know why
I'm gonna love you till I die
