Sharks swarm the Kwai as we're docked up to unload cargo on Penrhyn Atoll. Thinking I'd scare them off, I jump into the ocean off the side of the boat. To my surprise, the sharks stuck around and began circling me. Good thing I took that fish out of my pocket!
We explore the beautiful island and I ponder why so many of the houses are abandoned. Why so many of the islanders left for the mainlands. Seems like a rather idyllic place to live, outside of all the nonsense of modern life. We interview Alex William, a local of Penrhyn Island to learn more about the island and its history.
