The Elusive Waterfall....and other stuff

Another hodge-podge of events… we’ve gone diving, had some friends over, and gone exploring the mangroves. We’re going to be leaving here in the next week or so, so we’ve been trying to fit everything in….and we finally found that elusive waterfall…

While we waited on the ship to come in, we managed to live off of mangrove crabs and cucumbers! Not bad...

A Japanese boat came through. They were on their way back to Japan
with NO stops....good luck s/v Dolce!

Rodney and Luke kayaked out to the boat one afternoon and the boys played and played...We took them back in the Mangroves at high tide and the boys had a blast. The adults managed to have a good time too :).

They had their adventure to the "other side."

Drinking the "gift" from the Japanese folks...

Before we left California, we met a guy from mom and dad's church who was volunteering as a teacher in Pohnpei. Jake and I promised to meet up with him when we got back. Well, here we are with Cole and 3 of his friends, enjoying an afternoon on Savannah. I'm afraid the parents won't be too happy about it. One of the kids is now thinking about the military and the other three are trying to figure out how to crew on sailboats.... sorry...

Sunday, we decided to go on a dive/snorkel on the other side of the island. Jake and Luke played in the water ALL DAY LONG....

Our driver, Incher...

The boat ride back, after a VERY long day.

There is a US Post office here.... our first purchase, a brand new grill...

And we finally found the elusive waterfall... You might remember that we tried to find this waterfall when we first got here with Lee and Richard on s/v Before. Well, today we found it. We had to cut the engine at least 6 times and duck under numerous trees, but alas, we found it... well worth the effort...
