This morning B and I had our morning swim, then after breakfast we all went ashore. Rasras met us on the beach, along with several other kids. The kids guided us to and through their village. We met some of the villagers I had previously met and had left clothes K Mart NZ had donated. Some of the villagers remembered and brought out cucumbers and beans. Rasras climbed up a tree and through down four popemelos (grapefruit). After touring the village we headed back to the beach. 
As we reached our dinghy one of the men fishing with casting nets, asked if we could help. Their village boat had hit a reef and needed repair. He was from a local village I haven’t been to before. We said we would have a look at the damage and see what we could do.
We first returned to Rasras’s village with pillows, clothes and a blanket. Then we climbed onto the back of a 4×4 Ute and headed down the goat track to look at the boat. The boat has several holes in the bottom and a few cracks in the side. It’s a big job. We told them we will do it tomorrow. So the returned us to the beach and will pick us up in the morning. Back on Imagine I found the fibreglass and resin. Sand paper and grinder went in the bag ready for the morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
