We were invited by Rio to go camping with his family on one of the other motus. Of course we said yes ! We packed up Fluenta, added 16 children and Rio and Koola plus a 35' and a 20' aluminum tender and their copious supplies and were off ..
View of the campsite from the bow of Fluenta. |
Nice view but notice the brown bommies everywhere. Not a relaxing anchorage to enter nor to find swing room in. |
Our Canada Flag before Liz did some repairs. Note the bommie just behind the boat at anchor - don't drag anchor here ... |
A few of the kids ... |
The Fleet |
What's down there ... |
Rio and Koola supervising |
Johnathan watching for coral (and escaping the chaos) |
They all fit on Fluenta ! |
Off to the beach ! |
Note the palm and rug combo - this was the sleeping area for everyone |
Works never stops .. shucking oysters for pearls |
Work never stops - preparing to feed the masses ... |
