Dan and kids fishing in the rock pools on the Eastern side of Kenutu, and eastern Island in the Vava'u group. What the picture doesn't really show is that even though it was settled weather and low tide, quite big waves were coming over the rocks and right up into the pool they were standing in at times.
This photo doesn't do the scene justice, but it was a deeper area of water surrounded by shallows that appeared to create its own private swimming pool. The colours were amazing.
Paige having a bath on the boat. She was very misarable at this time, with what I think was the mumps, so we gave her this treat and a bit of pampering to make her feel better.
A little island showing the "Tongan Dirt". A local palangi runs a T-Shirt business that uses the dirt to die shirts a golden brown, then prints local artist designs on them. Very lovely but at $50 each a bit out of our budget.
The little mushroom rock off of the end of the island.
Olivers art work. After each snorkelling session he comes back and draws pictures of the fish he has seen. Here he cut some out and made a stick up picture out of them.
Oliver with a couple of poor sea cucumbers. I know I talk about the Chinese taking them but the kids were playing at catching practice with these ones!
The kids playing in their own private aquarium.
Another shot of the eastern side of Kenutu.
Between Kenutu and the little islet south. Amazing watching the waves come through, and again that was on a settled low tide time. But I don't think I would want to be too close when a big sea is running through.
