Monday was overcast which was great as we could sit on the local beach most of the day watching an outrigger canoe competition without fear of sunburn. There were teams from many pacific Islands, Australia, New Zealand and even 2 from the UK. We didn't do brilliantly but not surprising since our teams practise on the Thames rather than the sea.
Later in the week we hope to see more of the competition especially the round the island race (32km) where there are crew changes but the canoe keeps moving so people have to tumble out and jump in.
It started to rain last night and hasn't stopped all day so we are really adapting to the island relaxed way of life by doing nothing!
