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 ..

| Nice view but notice the brown bommies everywhere. Not a relaxing anchorage to enter nor to find swing room in. |
