[status] Still at Berras island. The big boat left the day before yesterday and we have the place to ourselves, paradise. Moved in a little closer to the beach , we had initially anchored a ways out because the other boat was here. The wind has been up a bit but we went out for a shoot day before yesterday to get fish for Poolo to cook for Sunday lunch. I took the chance to get some fish we don't normally have. One was Boxfish, a crazy looking thing that I would never think to get for our meal. I knew they call them sea chicken and was keen to try it. No internal bones but the bones are like a shell that is rectangular. Anyway she curried it and you would swear it was chicken. Delicious. Also got one of Poolos favorites, Yellow unicorn fish, also really delicious cooked in Lolo(coconut milk.) Rest of the meal simple but delicious out of the Lovo (fijian Hangi) casava, kumala... Spent most of yesterday in the village with Sai and Poolo.
The google guys huge superyacht Dragonfly has been anchored at Onegea which is the closest island to here, just 6 miles SE. They have had a floatplane visit a couple of times, guess they have not run out of fresh food like us...Cant see it on AIS this morning so they might have left.
