Cook Islander Dorice Reid, crew member of Te Au o Tonga on the voyage to Nuku Hiva, Te Henua Enana (Marquesas Islands) in 1995: The sky was full of birds. They were flying up and down as if they were celebrating. And at the same time as we sailed into this harbour, the water of the harbour was absolutely awash with fish. Hundreds of dolphins were swimming and leaping in the harbour entrance. So, here we had three phases of living things celebrating. We had man on the beach with drums and dancing, and we had birds in the sky flying up and down in huge celebration, and we had the fish. We had the fish in the harbour.
