Kiwayu

Where the guys slept

What We floated in on

The island of Kiwayu is even smaller than Lamu and should be about 40 miles away from Lamu; but for some reason it was a four hour trip there and a nine hour journey back. We ran out of gas and had to sail 90% of the way back which would have been okay of the winds weren't blowing at 5mph.
Despite the irregular amount of time spend on water Kiwayu was a pleasant place because of it's remote location. There was no electricity and we slept two nights on beach while the girls slept in the tree house.
First day there we went to the white sand beach and played soccer. 5v4 against the locals and we still didn't win though we held our own. Ate dinner and built a camp fire on the beach.  The director of the program, Athman, invited all of us around the fire to try some octopus. Tried it but have absolutely no desire to try it again.

Second day we snorkeled around 10am with some local sailboats and sailors. Had shark for lunch which by the way is way better than octopus. We slept through soccer and made a bonfire.

Sleeping in the Bow of the boat. It was HOT on DECK. Marisa decided to join since clearly I look to be comfortable.
