The various books and logs said that if we landed on the beach we would find a path over the hillside to the other side of the island - correct

The path is to the left of the fallen palm at the right of the photograph.  The hillside behind had been devastated by a fire a few days earlier

and meet Sarah  and Sanita who farm there, also correct.

Sarah and Sanita with their daughter.  A gift of foodstuffs was well received

Sanita showed us where the buoy marking the aeroplane was situated well out in the shallows.

It is out there somewhere

There is not much aeroplane left but it made for a very interesting snorkel

Returning to the boat having said goodbye to Sanita and Sarah and having been given a gift of bananas we set sail for the other end of Naviti Island and anchored in Soso Bay, once again just before dusk.
