What a treat to wake up to clouds reflected in the glassy water of Kennedy Bay.
After enjoying the scenery, we got the boat ready to go as we had a few hours of motoring ahead to our final destination: Albert Cove on Rabi Island.
We could clearly see Rabi Island from our Kennedy Bay anchorage as it’s only 6 miles away, but Albert Cove, at the far east side of Rabi island, was 15 miles away. This was a place we’d heard great things about, and we were anxious to get there and spend a few days. (The map below shows our route from Kennedy Bay, Kioa Island, to Albert Cove, Rabi Island.)
Before we left, we met a guy who owned the tiny house we’d noticed out by the head of the bay. He was so nice, offering that we could anchor in front of his house as there’s good holding there, and he had papaya and coconuts. He was so hospitable that we decided to give him a couple of gifts even though we were leaving: two packages of crackers and a machete, thinking it might be useful way out here in the thick brush. He was overjoyed. It seems they make a good gift out here! Thank you, Diamond Girl, for giving us your extras! You made this man’s day! –Cyndi
