Crabbing In Tahiti

Yesterday we did schoolwork.  Mom, Dad and Kylie went shopping. We also got to watch the movie "The Bounty" which was filmed here in Moorea. It is about a mutiny on a British naval ship that happened in 1788. The ship's captain was being too harsh, so the crew rebelled. They sent the captain with a few other loyal men afloat on a small boat. The didn't expect the captain to make it to England but he did. The movie was based of him telling the story of the mutiny in court. It was pretty good.

This morning we did schoolwork again. When Kylie finished her schoolwork with Dad, we drove to visit a local man who makes crab pots. We talked for a little bit and ended up renting a crab pot from him for two weeks. He did not give us any bait but informed us where we could find it. He told us to go to the other side of the island around 4:00am and spear a 2 meter long eel. We decided we would just use fish and chicken so we would not have to make a trip to the emergency room. Tonight we are going to try to go floundering and this time Kylie is going to tag along.
