Text Box: In the isolated islands around Fiji, a visiting yacht generates great excitement, and local canoes arrive to trade, to talk, and to look.  The people know that we may carry many things they need but cannot obtain; reading materials, medicines, toys for the children, clothes, matches, soap, boat repair materials and batteries.  
Many of the younger children have never seen such a yacht before and, unaware that this is our home, they press their faces against the open portholes, eager for a glimpse of the foreign world within.
