BETTER CATERING THAN ON THE BOUNTY

Rings  with a  nautical design worn  as  souvenirs by   three  adventurous   Aussies  who  made   a recent exciting  voyage aboard  Venus, a  custom built  fibreglass  replica  of  an Indonesian  traditional  outrigger canoe, a Jukung , powered by  two  outboard  motors.  


Built in Bali, it  was trucked to Jakarta and launched , calling into   friendly places along the  way , sampling  the  exotic  tucker  , including  the mouth watering   variety   shown  below , none of  it  boring  breadfruit. 




Little Darwin received several photographs during the  trip , one showing  work on the outboards.  


The art  of  brewing   coffee  aboard  Venus is  shown  above   and  what seems to  have   been  a  cup  produced  ashore by  a  barista  skilled  in  the  latte art.
