Pictures from Jeh, Buoj, and Passage to Katchii

October 16, 2010 - Sail from Jeh to Buoj

The benefit of not going to Fiji is that when we sail someplace, it's not usually for more than a day.

Quincy and I hang out in the dodger as we're underway.  He's showing me his Leapster games.  I wish they had those when I was younger.

October 16, 2010 - Quincy Learns To Dive at Buoj

Paul gives Quincy some diving lessons.  Quincy appears a bit unsure.

Paul is explaining that he is going to "help" Quincy dive.

Paul's "help" is pretty much launching Quincy head first into the water.

It appears to get the job done, though.  It looks like a great beginning dive.

And Quincy seems to like it. 

October 18, 2010 - Fun In and Around Buoj

Quincy, John, and Paul headed out for a morning of fishing.  They caught an aku and got to play with dolphins!

I had fun watching the fish around the boat that morning.  There were lots and lots of non-stinging jellyfish floating near the surface, and the fish would come all the way up to the surface to take bites of them.  

When TC and I went on shore, we found two animals hiding in one of the wood sheds.  Can you find them?

October 19, 2010 - Goodbye Buoj

We found Lee and a friend working on the Horiuchi's outrigger.

Quincy loved playing with the kitten.

We got a group picture with the Cherokee crew and the Horiuchi's.  Flomina loved Quincy.

Flomina's Marshallese oven - she said it is "lukuun eman."  It is 14 years old.

October 19, 2010 - Hello Katchii

As we arrived in the early evening, there were three outrigger boats out fishing (two shown here).

The third one had a colorful sail.

Quincy and John decided to go out for some fun on the SUP.

I love these kids' all-natural seesaw.

John and Q catch a wave.

Then Q and TC caught waves in the kayak.

John has fun playing in the small waves.
