New Georgia, Solomon Islands

Two men in a boat bob gently out in the channel as the dawn comes up over the forested shores of New Georgia. We’ve been assured that an inter-island freighter will pass this way sometime soon. Sure enough, just after sun-up, a white blob appears on the horizon and the good ship Bikoi hoves into view. We scramble aboard, picking our way over sleeping bodies and sacks of copra. Next stop, Seghe, and the Marovo Lagoon.
