Daniela took the last occasion to make fresh bread for Lise , Gill and Germoune and made 3 very happy faces. I sharpened Gills axe and he cut down a young palm tree to get a heart of palm for us . Its
delicious and makes a great salat.
Germoune took a video with Daniela to show her a dozend ways to tie a pareo. She is really in her element when it comes to female costumes, she glows.
Then we took a very slow sail north. In 4 h we managed the 9 miles thru coral heads and arrived at another Kaoa. That's a coral/sand spit that comes out from shore and gives us good protection if ever the
south swell starts.
Its doesnt look like there is anybody here and we were warned not to go ashore in the afternoon: It has Nonos or "nosee ems" Tiny insects that bite and leave your legs itching for days.
We get a few messages o whatsup but no usable internet. I just know my solar pannels are comming soon on the "Marie Stella" , the standard cargo supply ship for Hao.
Its fun to see the ship coming in. Half the island is there and watches to see that the neighbor got new garden chairs etc.
We have to find a spot in a harbor because a Maramu is coming again , making it choppy at the anchorage. I finished painting all sinks and showers in shiny white...Yelo glows again.
We might go to another Kaoa today, closer to the village and check it out if its a good spot to hide from the Maramu. We have been there before on bicycles. Its close to Tonys house, the last house south in
Otepa. More later on Tony.
