A Random Walk

The following video is a 360 degree of the outrigger we were on. The waters around Christmas Island rival that of Bora Bora in Tahiti for its beautiful aquamarine color. It's a very photogenic place, and anywhere you go, you feel completely isolated and detached from modern society. I'd put this at a tie with the outer Atolls of Belize in terms of sheer beauty. It was a rare event for us to see another person from the time we left in the morning to the time we got back each evening.



The photo to the right is at the end of a day of fishing back at the harbor. Michael is our guide out front and Russ is leaning over the stern of the outrigger. This is what it's all about.






At night, Ken provided some entertainment for the local children with some juggling, magic tricks, and antics. The Gilbertese are very friendly people - not a lot of places I've been internationally that I can say that about - I have had some interesting situations in Central America in the past.
