Bagaman Island and Beach Party Time!

Friday, 28 September to Sunday, 1 October 2012

On Friday we sailed 21nm from Motorina to Bagaman and caught a nice mackeral on the way.

The heavy rain overnight cleared by the morning rally sched so the Bagaman Muster was on. We motored around together to the local village where another sing sing and mumu had been organised. We were met at the gate and had leis placed around our necks by the locals.

The morning's entertainment was kept moving by MC Eustace and we all sat in the cool of the shelter built for us.

Shelter was a fine example of local craftmanship

The local elementary school teacher and students performed some dances in traditional costume and showed us their classroom.

After the entertainment we had a mumu lunch and bought carvings and baskets from the locals who proudly displayed their creations. Bagaman has the best carvings in the area and we came away with some fine examples.

On Sunday, we left Bagaman for a short motor to Blue Lagoon for the yachties beach party - no locals live on this island so we could let our hair down. Our team won the tug of war contest. We had BBQ mackeral for lunch. Having lots of fun!
