valemonti 16:40 UTC 21 Oct 2007 | hi...does anyone know about something special for full moon in any island? |
islandboi321 21:15 UTC 21 Oct 2007 | There are no islands in the South Pacific that I am aware of where tens of thousands of drunk, stoned, barfing college/gap year kids come to gyrate and copulate on a filthy beach to the beats of AliceDJ and Daftpunk. And most islands in the Pacific, to my knowledge, would like to keep it that way! :) If your looking for "Full Moon" parties, then you will want the Thailand branch, I'm afraid. Have fun. | 1
tuna88 02:33 UTC 22 Oct 2007 | The fishing is pretty good a few days either side of "Full Moon" | 2
crossie 02:45 UTC 22 Oct 2007 | No good for crayfishing (rock lobster) | 3
mandja 07:53 UTC 22 Oct 2007 | I agree with #1. | 4
5waldos 08:12 UTC 22 Oct 2007 | The stars are much better during a new moon. | 5
cardamom 10:29 UTC 22 Oct 2007 | Coral spawn just after the full mon. | 6
ozziegiraffe 21:36 UTC 22 Oct 2007 | Crossie, the best time to crayfish in Solomon Islands is a couple of days AFTER the full moon, after the sun sets, but before the moon rises. I try to get to "my" lagoon then, so the men will catch them for me. | 7
raro 05:08 UTC 23 Oct 2007 | 6--Just curious, what does that mean, "coral spawn"??? | 8
cardamom 06:50 UTC 23 Oct 2007 | coral spawn | 9
raro 07:22 UTC 23 Oct 2007 | Interesting! | 10
taranaki_chick 22:49 UTC 23 Oct 2007 | In Samoa, coral spawn means palolo. A green stringy stuff that shows up once or twice a year...around Nov. Go out and gather it early in the morning before sun up....use a small hand held scoop net made of mosquio netting. It disolves when the sun comes up. A most coveted delicacy. Wonderful fried in a bit of butter and onions and served on a slice of toast or taro. Aloha | 11
