Gardening in these remote islands is more then just a hobbie but an essential practice vital for survival. Walking barefoot through rough terrain to find the areas with the most suitable soil, sections of forest are burnt and cleared with basic hand tools such as machete and axe. The trees are then removed or used for stabilising the soil. This is when the women of the village come together to dig and plant the seeds of various staples. Today Poppy learns the way of planting a variety of yams that will later be remembered as 'Poppy's yams', signifying not only the day that a yachtie came to learn, but also get her hands dirty and help the local community. This act of unity is why these villagers have been able to thrive off growing their own food for so many generations.

We learned from the George Town Facebook group that fishermen were going to be at the government dock. I showed up a little late and so I think all that was left was fresh fish. No lobster and no conch. The fisherman had several very large Mutton Snapper. I had never heard of Mutton before and so I was a bit apprehensive about buying. But, I took a chance. A smaller, one-meal fish, was $20. This larger fish was $75. I suspect I could have negotiated but I never really feel good about doing so given the fact that he's hardly making a killing. I think we got about 8 lbs of fillets off of this fish and so $75 it's really pretty cheap, compared to what we purchase fresh (not really fresh) fish back in the States. We had fresh dill from the Salt Pond farmers market. So, I decided to use dill, lime, olive oil, salt, pepper and a shallot to season. Dropped it in the air fryer and it was awesome! #sailingcatamaran #boatlife #catamaran #travelvlog #digitalnomad #lifestyle #sailboats #sailing #cruising #offgrid #nomad #sail #boat #multihull #whileone #sailingwhileone #bigseas #lifeafter50 #sailinglife
