[status] We have a new temporary pet aboard. The kids found a baby chicken and adopted it for a week or so. The chick is deformed. It has only one eye and the beak is twisted in different directions. Michael said "Daddy the chick may look deformed, buy he is the cutest person onboard." Besides our temporary pet, we did a lot more fiberglass work in the village. We've been learning a lot about their culture, customs and history. It is a fascinating story. Up until the late 1900's, organized religion was not allowed on the island. This was because the chief wanted to keep the village isolated and preserve their customs. Bouganville, when needing custom dancers, would send a boat to this island group and bring back dancers because they were very authentic. This all changed during the civil war.

Today we'll be doing some final fiberglass work, and probably start some work with the school. All going well, and we plan on being here for at least another week.
