Rolf and Uta of "Mariposa" arrived in Salomon Atoll before Christmas and stayed until the end of June before sailing back to Southeast Asia. This had been their schedule for many years. They stayed for that entire six months on a mooring at Ile Boddam. Every eight days they fished from their dinghy until they had enough fish for the next week. They filleted their catch on shore and fed the remains to the sharks.
