Ship's Log:
Underway again as of yesterday. We enjoyed a wonderful stay with the peolple of Mangareva.Our decks were continually laden with pamplemosse, papaya, limes, lemons, pomegranate, bananas, coconuts, passi on fruit, to name a few. Often our days would start with an early morning swim followed by some fruit before breakfast. Once again we made many new friends during our time ashore. We had many onboard throughout the day and into the night, playing music and chatting together.
Many Mangareveans are black pearl farmers so trainees had the opportunity to visit the farms out on the lagoon. Also many gifts of pearls were given as a sign of their appreciation of our visit. We were told by the elders of the island that they could not remember when the young people were invited aboard any vessel to sing and be apart of the community. Once again teary faces apeared as we pulled away from the dock.
At present we are on our way to the Marquesas and should be there in 4-5 days.
