Kennedy Island and the story of PT109:
Kennedy was a lieutenant during WWII and captain of the PT109, boat that was wrecked during a japanese attack. Kennedy and his crew swam to Plum Pudding Island, which will later be renamed Kennedy island. Because they had no food or water, they decided to swim South to Olasana Island, and later Kennedy went to Naru Island to find help.

Arrival to Honiara, Solomon Islands
Dec.4, 2018
A Tourist's guide to Honiara, Solomon Islands
Part 2 of my South Pacific trip.
From Port Moresby, I fly into the Solomon Island's hectic, pot-holed capital Honiara. I walk about seeing the main sights, then catch a taxi into the hills to see the American and Japanese War Memorials.
Honiara isn't pretty, but its safe enough.
Markets in Honiara, Solomon Islands

Solomon Islands 2023
Well, after a three year postponement, due to you know what, we finally made it to the Solomon Islands. But not without a few dramas on the way. First thing we found upon arrival at Honiara airport, was that our rod tube had sustained a massive impact. Later, when we arrived at our accommodation we discovered that three of our rods were damaged and unuseable. Which pretty much limited our fishing to trolling lures.
The other little drama, which was a little unnerving at the time, was shortly after takeoff in the Twin Otter to Seghe. We'd been airborne for about five minutes or so, when the crew turned the plane back to Honiara airport. We circled for a while then landed, turned out the radio had stopped working. Took about an hour to fix before we were on our way again.

Top 10 Things to See and Do on the Solomon Islands
Get more Tips here!
Taking a trip to the Solomon Islands will be unlike any other vacation you’ve ever experienced. When visiting one of the last untouched destinations in the Pacific, here are 10 things to see and do.
1. See the Traditional Villages
Choose the Kmaga Village experience where you’ll sleep in a beachfront bungalow and receive top-notch hospitality from the villages’ chief and local families.
2. Visit Central Market in Honiara
Head to Central Market in Honiara on the island of Guadalcanal. The stands are lined with crafts made by talented artisans, fresh fish, fruits, and veggies, and handmade souvenirs for you to take back home.
3. Rent a Boat
Various companies offer boat charters, or you can get behind the wheel and navigate the Pacific on your own. But you can always rent a kayak for a few hours and take in the sights as you paddle along the coast.
4. Snorkel in the Bonegis
They are known for being the best places to explore the Solomons’ marine life. Beneath the Pacific, you’ll see beautiful coral reefs, tropical fish, octopus, and maybe even a few shipwrecks from World War II.
5. The Vilu War Museum
The remnants from those battles during WWII with Japanese and American aircrafts can be found at this open-air museum located deep within the forest of Honiara.
6. Go Birdwatching
Grab your binoculars and your long-focus lens camera and make the trek out to Imbu Rano Lodge. Some of the bird species that you’re likely to encounter include parrots, kingfishers, and white-eyes.
7. Travel to Skull Island
Catch a plane to Munda. And take a boat to Vonavona Lagoon to reach the country’s most sacred place: Skull Island. It’s surrounded by human skulls who were killed during the islands’ headhunting days.
8. Chew a Betel Nut
You should take part in some of their traditional ceremonies, including a little bit of betel nut chewing. A betel nut is the brown or yellow seed of the Areca palm, and users have cited a euphoric feeling while chewing on the nut. All we have to say is: chew at your own risk!
9. Hike Up Kolombangara
This volcano last erupted 10,000 years ago. You’ll need a tour guide to lead you along the way and hack away at the overgrown brush that covers the trail. And after two days, you’ll finally reach the crater.
10. Fall in Love With Tenaru Falls
If you enjoy the great outdoors, we guarantee you’ll fall in love with Tenaru Falls near Honiara. To reach the falls, it’s best to rent a 4WD vehicle because it’s no easy trek through the rough and treacherous path. But it’s definitely worth the drive!

LIVING FROM THE OCEAN on a REMOTE ISLAND in TROPICAL PARADISE | Corona chronicles| Part 7
Watch part 1 of the CORONA CHRONICLES HERE!
We continue to explore Las Perlas islands during lockdown in Panama. The rainy season was approaching fast, but that didn't stop us making the best of the situation.
We spent our days free diving, spear fishing, living off the land and meeting an amazing sailing community that was around. We are very grateful to be in such a privileged situation in times like this!
SV Parlay is a hurricane damaged 2012 Lagoon 450 Catamaran bought in Tortola, BVI at the beginning of 2018. Colin and his friends spent 4 months getting her seaworthy, before setting sail across the Caribbean. Follow our journey as we continue to fix her and eventually circumnavigate the globe!

Lost $11,000 in Video Gear & Almost My Life: My Solomon Islands Survival Story
Our adventure in the Solomon Islands was a wake-up call. We were one of the first big tour groups to visit since the pandemic and what we experienced was a shocker. During our trip, we encountered major safety challenges and even experienced a traumatic event. We were lucky to survive due to the lack of proper rescue infrastructure. Despite our meeting with the tourism office, their promises to address the situation have gone unfulfilled, and it's unacceptable. I also want to emphasize that GPS devices are unreliable in this region, further highlighting the urgent need for the local government to establish a dependable rescue system if the tourism industry wants to thrive. It's time for the industry to take action and ensure that tourists are protected. We deserve to have peace of mind when traveling, and it's time for our voices to be heard.
INSURE YOUR EXPENSIVE EQUIPMENT! We highly recommend Professional Photographers of America:

Solomon Islands Travel
Welcome to the Solomon Islands.a very special place… swaying palms, white sandy beaches, warm crystal clear water home to thousands of reef fish, a sacred place, a place where you can pay tribute to past heroes and learn a little of their battles. A place where you can cross a lagoon that you will never forget. A place where you can stay and eat in five star luxury or get away from it all in a home stay over water. A place that embraces the future but still holds on to the past and it’s traditional culture.
The Solomon Islands, Islands adrift in time, A place time passed by… however you describe the Solomons the Solomons are so Solomons so different.

Crossing from Australia to Louisiades and Solomon islands [part 1]
It's finally time for us to sail across the coral sea and the solomon sea. It's our first passage, so quite scary, but we feel prepared... Or do we? With strong winds and waves up to 6m on a beam reach, not sure that anyone can claimed to be prepared!
Add to that seasickness and all the issues that we didn't plan for, and you end up with something very scary. You just go across the barrier reef and suddenly think, how about we stay there instead? Beautiful water, lots of fish, sun, etc. Do we really need more? Do we really need to go crazy and cross an ocean?
Find out what happened, and if we ever made it across!
