We took the boat out on Easter Monday afternoon for some snorkelling and playing on a local inshore island. On the way we passed some local ladies net-fishing from a couple of rafts. You see some pretty cool things here.
The crew all geared up and ready to swim on arrival.
At Nah Island I finally caught a good sized coconut crab. Not massive by coconut crab standards but it's the biggest one I've seen on Pohnpei so I was happy with that. And he tasted good as well.
Powerful claws that bust open coconuts. Being very careful at this point.
The kids found a place to relax in between spots.
On of our favourite spots on island - The Village. This is where Nic and I stayed for Nic's birthday a couple of weeks back.
The old and the new.
As always the snorkelling was fantastic with the colours of the fish simply amazing.
No trip would be complete without seeing Nemo.
Or Mummy's favourite, the blue starfish.
There isn't as many clams on the inshore reefs as there are on the atolls. Dirtier water (rain run-off) and the locals keep the numbers down.
A pretty cool spot to stop for a swim.
No need to take depth soundings when you have four very loud kids telling you how deep it is.Just another day in paradise.
