Open boat Suva

Don’t worry if you missed today’s open boat – there’s another one tomorrow. But today’s went really well. The Rainbow Warrior was anchored off shore from a downtown park, and crewmembers shuttled about 300 people out for tours. Back on land there was also educational display and fish painting for the kids (paper fish painting, not the real thing).

If you are in Suva, between twelve to four tomorrow you can catch a free ride out to the ship leaving from the steps by Tiko’s. For those of you who are not from around here, Tiko’s is a floating fish restaurant, and yes, the Rainbow Warrior touring the Pacific Islands to talk about fisheries issues - so you can find any irony there that you want. If it helps, I had a lovely dinner at Tiko’s last night, and can recommend it.

Hmm, but does it make it any less ironic if I tell you that the whole point of the tour is to help ensure a sustainable fishery into the future, not necessarily to “save the fish”?
