North
Sentinel
0530
Rendezvoused successfully last night with the friend,
currently on the boat, waiting to make contact. Left last night around 2000 and
arrived around 2230 or so. But as we went North along the Eastern shore, we saw
boat lights in distance along the north shore and turned around. Headed south
along the Eastern shore and evaded them went along the Southern shore and then
up along the western shore. All along the way, our boat was highlighted by
bioluminescent plankton—and as fish jumped nearby, we could see them like
darting mermaids shimmering along. The Milky Way was above and God Himself was
shielding us from the Coast Guard and Navy Patrols. At 0430, we entered the Cove on the Western shore and as the sun began to light the east above the
island, me (sic) and two of the guys jumped in the shallows and brought my two
pelicans and kayak onto the northern point of the Cove. The dead coral is sharp
and I already got a slight scratch on my right leg. Now we see a Sentinel
Islander home and are waiting for them to come out. We also saw three large
fires on the eastern shore last night.
Soli Deo Gloria.
