An hour later, knock knock knock on the side of the boat. We figured it was likely the police, so we invited the 2 men onboard. One spoke excellent English and we soon learned they are fisherman, and not police at all. We offered them a cold drink and chatted for a little while before they offered us some eel and to come to his house today. We declined the eel, and accepted the invitation ashore for tomorrow since we were very tired today.
The next day, we enjoyed an eel lunch with breadfruit, paepae, breadfruit slices, and some rice with luncheon meat. Remarkably, it was all delicious. We prayed for no bad intestinal effects.
