Sarah: Last night we had a rubbish fire to get rid
of all of our stinkin' rubbish! We had coconut, crab and fanta(beer for
parents)! Today we got to misima(yay!)and on the way Al caught an 85cm fish!!!!!
So we went anchor to look around. There were two schools, two shops,a
hospital and a whole lot more! We also had the weirdest softdrink I've ever had!
Dad and Grace had lime fanta, mum had pineapple fanta and Allan and I had
creaming soda fanta!!!!!!! weird. There are also a LOT of dogs. Lots of the
older peeps had red teeth from chewing beetlenuts!.
PS blog from the now bearded stowaway AKA
Allan...Fish was a Spanish Mackeral and the crab was local muddies...All of us
have never eaten Crab sooooo sweet. The Beer referred to is Chris Draught or
officially known as Sid Harbour Lager which after aging for all of 4 weeks was
icy cold and very special.The villiage on Misima gave us the first
impression of being a little rough however after getting the lay of the land was
found to be friendly and we are touring tomorrow up to the skull cave and then
dinner at the guest house. Our whole 2 weeks of washing is costing only 20
kina.($10) yet a litre of unleaded is 5 kina($2.50).
PPS from the skipper: If anyone has any bright
ideas on how to get a 7.5 kq anchor windlass from Whitworths to Misima Island
any time in the next month, I'm all ears!
