I'm inside the cabin this time, looking rearward. The seas are the roughest yet but I'm faring well. It's overcast and has been since yesterday evening but no rain has come.
We docked at an island that we thought was deserted and set out to explore. We found several different coconuts of varying ripeness and went to work ripping off the husks with the help of a sharp rock I found. Good coconut milk and meat was had by all.
Walking the coastline we came across the usual sea trash. Bottles and shoes seem to be the most common find.
We found a few guys making a canoe with nothing but an adze and axe. One of them showed us around their village where the best part was watching a toddler drag juvenile chickens around by their wings. Not a common sight back home. We got a ride back to the cat in a dugout canoe with about 2 inches of freeeboard. We didn't have enough paddles so hands were used as well.
