The fish was THIS big!

Monday, 8 October to Thursday, 11 October 2012
Sabera Island


We motored to Sabera Island via Kimuta Island and anchored in the crystal clear waters. This is another area that is stunning.

We had perfect weather for our days here and the area was great for kayaking and swimming, although 2 people were stung by jellyfish.

Local kids kept us company
We had a walk over the island to visit the local community school, St Anthony's. 


I was amazed that the year 3 and 4 students were learning about quadrilaterals when they struggled to answer our questions in English.


The boarders, some as young as 8, sleep on grass mats on concrete and have to cook their own meals. Education is highly valued here and until this year parents paid K200 per student to attend school.

Girls dormitory
Big news is Warren caught a 80cm 7kg coral trout!

About to head to Nimowa today. Weather is beautiful, and not too hot. Starting to think about the trip home.

Sabera was certainly one of the trip highlights for us.

Wow! That's a lovely big fish! It sounds like you're enjoying the trip...and the exceptional weather conditions. Sometimes I ache to see crystal clear waters; to be close to them again. There's something very special about balmy days, with a light sea breeze gently wafting about while one looks over azure, sometimes turquoise waters.

Safe journey.

All sounding wonderful and what a bonus a trout like that was!
