After being
away 4 months we were excited to return to Nuka Hiva, our new friends and our home, KaijaSong.
Stepping aboard was like we had never left. Kevin and Annabella and their two wonderful
children Esmeralda and Tehau had done an amazing job of boat sitting and KS was
just as we left her.
The days
between our return and Christmas flew by with work projects and the daily celebrations and
festivities that are such a part of the island life during this special season. We enjoyed it all and the days flew by. Then it was finally Christmas Eve.
Having come from the ‘land o’ stuff’ we were
laden with Christmas gifts for all and we were excited to see their
reactions. It is true what they say that it is better to give than to receive, the joy and watching the little ones open things so completely unexpected.
Albeit the humble offerings we brought seemed trite by comparison to the
warm hospitality and love this family had shown us during our time on their beautiful
island. The spirit of Giving is alive
and well on Nuka Hiva and it was a very Merry Christmas for all.
