We’ve never felt so popular before… Many people here have never seen a sailboat before and the normal reaction once we drop anchor is for half the village to rush out by boat or canoe to have a chat and take pictures of us. Yes, here the locals takes photos of the tourists, not the other way round Of course they are eager to trade, so we have more fruit and veg aboard than we can eat…
Everyone wants to come up to see the boat
And everyone wants to take pics and pose with us for more pics
Hoisting the flag of Bougainville
Of course we’re welcome to visit the villages in return!
