Dropped anchor next to Kuto
Bay and we tendered in to this island known for its white beaches and clear
blue waters. All these islands were
discovered by Captain Cook and this one he named Isle of Pines cuz of all the
Caledonia Pines here. He also nicknamed
it “The Jewel of the South Pacific” while people today say it’s “The Closest
Island to Paradise”. I must say, it really was beautiful. We only traveled about 80 miles from yesterday’s
destination and spent the whole day here on our own.
Jerry and I walked the
beach (about 3 miles) and let the water lap on our legs. The temp and light breeze were perfect. Clouds would drift by and give relief from
the heat of the sun. No bugs, so I was
happy! Oh yes, we also found a geocache!!!
Walked across the gravel
road and there was another beach on the other side. A different pretty, but pretty just the same!
There was one driftwood stump that was
quite artistic. I could even see a face
in it!
So… enjoy the pics. Tomorrow is a sea day… which means a day with
our noses in our books! Can you see our boat in between us in the pic... look real hard!
See the pines greeting us as we motored into the area!
This is the beach that greeted us!
A cutie on the beach... her mom said I could take the pic!
The pumic rock here was worn away by the water years ago!
Unique Sculpture on the beach!
Awesome trees here
Beach on the other side!
Looking back at the beach we walked...
Wow...we are having the time of our lives... not sure how that works as we have before and I am hopeful we will again...but feeling so fortunate to be able to enjoy all of these parts of His creation.... pretty amazing.... I sure do love you and cannot think of anyone else I would prefer to spend my days with!
