Now is the time to enjoy the water as school is officially done for the day. School kids return to the beach and instead of heading out they frolic in the water around their canoes. They saw me taking pictures and I think that spurred them on to playing all the more. The girls in particular wanted to have their photo taken. I was amazed at how different the faces look in the children. Their faces & eyes can tell you so much about their heritage.
Eventually they formed the armada again and paddled back to their villages.
