Deborah and I rented a double kayak again yesterday to cruise around Savusavu Bay. Once more we mostly stayed close to the islands within the bay, but this time the tide was high enough to allow us to explore more of the mangrove areas. The water was nevertheless shallow enough to offer nice views of the coral reefs passing below us and their colorful little residents. We were also able to see up close the remnants of the two boat houses that were blown away in the cyclone, now mostly submerged save for a few ragged poles poking up from the water.
We stopped at an island beach, not realizing until later that we had pulled up within close proximity of the bloated carcass of a cow – probably another casualty of the cyclone. It was missing a head and a few other extremities, but when the wind was blowing in the right direction its presence was hard to ignore. Despite the decaying bovine we had a fine time collecting shells, looking at strange aquatic life forms, and taking photographs. Unfortunately, our computer has died again so getting the photos onto the blog is much more difficult. I’m hoping our laptop will once again resurrect itself (it is almost Easter after all). I’m less confident the dead cow will do the same.
