That greenery is crazy lush. Your signature flop onto and into bushes is pretty cool. Spending no money is the best. Nuku Hiva seems really special. I've seen videos about life there; I wondered if it really was something that I could do. My answer was, probably not. I'd probably feel pretty isolated after some time. I'd like to say that I feel your pain for Finn leaving early. You guys definitely have a bond, one that can't be broken. The more separation hurts, the healthier the bond is. Yet another reason to be grateful. Water sports and sharks, or barracudas. I definitely don't like either. I used to water ski in the ocean and be chased by those vile creatures. One time, I took on a wave, fell, was knocked out and had to be rescued. My friend saved me; we had a system for when someone fell. It was dangerous, but sooooo worth the fun. You can't beat a grateful mindset. It can totally define the best way of life. Thanks so much for sharing like you did.
