Still sheltering from the high winds we just lazed around this morning. Wolfgang tried out his baking skills and made bread rolls (biscuits for Americans) for lunch. After lunch we all went ashore and were greeted by Chief Sofren who was so appreciative of Andrew and Wolfgang’s help yesterday. He took us around to the other side of the island to his village. We met his wife and sister as we were shown around the village. We all noticed that the chief was limping. He told us that he had slipped and twisted his ankle a few months ago. So Cindy put her magic hands to work and manipulated his ankle and did some traction till it popped back into place. Sue and Cindy handed Jocelyn (his wife) two duvets they had brought from Imagine. Cindy helped Jocelyn fetch water from the well.
Cindy went off with Jocelyn and returned with an arm full of grapefruit. A few minutes later Cindy and Wolfgang were instructed by the chief to follow Jocelyn into the Bush. They all returned with a squash like vegetable. Jocelyn then introduced us to the nuts they grow on the island. They tasted a lot like almonds.
Laden with the fruit and veggies we headed back to the boat to laze around for the rest of the day
