Bear's Island aka Ile Jacobin,
Salomon Islands
 As soon as the Patrol Vessel carrying
Yolanda and Donald left to pick up the rest of the team who were enjoying a
snorkel we headed over to Bear’s Island, next to
Pepe’s.
 A lovely sandy
beach.
 Looking left toward Pepe’s Island, Fouquet further left.
 Where the atoll water meets the
seaward current – a sandbar with rip
waves.
 Beaching Baby
Beez.
 The leader of the
welcome committee, weapons at the
ready.
 Crabs
everywhere.
  A hermit
crab, I settled him back – a very smart house.
 We started out clockwise bimbling over
the old coral, looking out to sea.
 A chap with his hands on
a snail.
 This chap didn’t
flinch and carried on about his business.
 Boxing
gloves ???
 A fat sea
slug under a rock overhang.
 The far side of
the island, Ile Anglaise in the distance.
 A regional meeting of hermits.
 Looking toward Boddam (left) and
Anglaise (right) across an even bigger sand bar than
the other side.
 Heading back to
Baby Beez.
  After a lovely snorkel off the beach,
we headed back to Beez to find the friend that buzzes just overhead has
taken up post as guardian at the top of the
mast.
ALL IN ALL PLEASED IT IS
BIGGER THAN MY ISLAND
BUSY CRABS NOT AS PRETTY AS PEPE’S
