Pastime anchored at Sagheraghi
A memory from Sydney - The first time any Kerrs visited Sagheraghi (apparently pronounced Saggeraggy) was 10 years ago in 1996. David, Wendy and I (Bernadette) set out in the morning with a drink and two breadrolls each for a short (a few km) walk to a beautiful bay and village. Unfortunately for the intrepid adventurers, the walk was several times longer than expected (somewhere around or over 20km), and we didn't return until the evening. Exhausted and hungry, we were salivating at the thought of some fresh bread rolls from the Gizo bakery and a cold bottle of Coca Cola. Too late! No wishes granted there, but nevertheless, the walk was worth it. We passed through a village where the children had not seen many white people, and walked with us the whole way. One of the little boys had one enormous basketball boot on. He was very proud of it. We visited the village at Sagheraghi, paying our respects to the Chief. Wendy and I used his cottage to get changed in to go snorkelling. We've since heard that the Chief died. I remember the beautiful flower gardens in the village - very colourful and well kept. We snorkelled on a sunken boat. I'm sure the Pastime crew will have some more adventures/great experiences in Sagheraghi this time (without the long walk)! The Avalon crew
