We've been away from Civilisation for 2 months now but as we'd heard things had relaxed a bit we decided to visit the small town of Waisei to do a major refill of provisions and fuel. It turned out to be a pretty cool experience as we only met happy helpful people, it seemed they were just as happy to see us as us them! We also caught a really nice fish on the way to town and saw some dolphins acting weird.
Enjoy!

wow that's a big big one

three maximum we still have a whole one left.

we're just coming into Waisai to get

some shopping and we put the lines out

we caught a fish, don't normally catch em

this close to town

but caught something. It's not fighting

much though

i think it's a mackerel yeah this it is, beautiful!

wow that's a big big one

Wohooo! Haha.

woah a big healthy fat mackerel.

nice

hello, we have just put the anchor down

in front of waisai village as you can

see back here

and we're going to go up the river here

to the market.

Now we haven't been to a town since

our last quarantine which was two months

ago maybe even slightly more

so yeah uh we're gonna go and check it

out apparently we have to go and get

temperatures taken and write our names

down and stuff

but uh apparently it's mellow. Jim,

just over here behind me he's the guy

that came and picked this up from Halmahera

from my episode whatever it was link up

here

he's here at the moment and he's been

here uh a few days

so he sort of knows the rigmarole and

given us some tips

and yeah we're going to go and get some

food

so we're only going to stay here a

couple of hours because as you can see

it's pretty lumpy it's completely

exposed to the southeasters here

spray time

go

so we just arrived in Waisai

and they have a checkpoint for the Covid19

so you have to be sprayed here and after

they just check the name

and after we are free to go to the

market and have fresh vegetables.

So it wasn't a big deal hey they're all

friendly? Yeah super nice every

everyone is super nice here yeah

pretty cool and there's the market over there.

How many, 3-4??

three maximum we still have a whole one left.

okay one of these for us too

thank you

Hiii Missus, want Banana??

Cumicumi(squid)

ahh beautiful, looks how big the squids are!

little tick-tock session on the jetty

with the girls. I don't even know what

tick-tock is but apparently it's pretty

cool

yeah you just have to dance or something

you do it

But I dont know how to dance!

it's good??

Nooo

just credit please.

so as you can probably hear it is

absolutely bucketing it down

as it sort of often does at this time of

the year in the tropics

we try and harvest this water as much as

we can because it's fresh and it's cold

and it's clean

and it definitely beats filling up with

water at a jetty somewhere with

20 liter drums and stuff so i'll show

you how we uh

harvest the water on Schiehallion. So we put

all our buckets out to catch the water

off this blue tarp

and that goes here in the uh the

showering

thing and the whole deck is catching

water for the

for the tanks

so

you
