Myanmar (Burma): Janaury 2017: Day 7: Nyaung Wee and Than Yoke

Myanmar (Burma): January 2017

Day 7: Nyaung Wee & Than Yoke Is.

Trading for fish from a local fishing boat.

Not sure why they cover french toast in scrambled eggs?

Sitta Galet is a busy place.

Caught a wahoo! (aka ono)

A small one, according to the crew.

Means fresh sashimi.

And tartare.

Ono (wahoo) sashimi.

Sam talking with the captain.

The one Burmese dish on the trip, tea leaf salad. (nom!)

Kind of a random meal. Thin, watery pasta sauce, garlic bread, and a big bowl of guacamole, but no chips?

Sunset over Than Yoke Island.

Deserved a second photo.

Sam watches the chef prepare dinner.

Beach BBQ on Than Yoke Island.

Lounging on the sand and in hammocks.

Reverse angle.

Fish over the coals.

Roast corn, grilled fish, salad, potatoes... quite a meal!

The morning was greeted by the crew bringing on board a big basket of fish from a fishing boat also anchored by Sitta Galet, then french toast for breakfast!

Sailing to Nyaung Wee Island's southern tip for some more snorkeling, we snagged a wahoo (ono) on the way-- which meant fresh sashimi for lunch!

Actual lunch wasn't too much later, and it was the one Burmese dish of the whole trip-- tea leaf salad! t'was actually another very random meal, with a huge bowl of pasta, a very thin pasta sauce (is that the style here?), and a big bowl of guacamole, but strangely no chips for it.

After a usual day of sailing and snorkeling, we sailed to the night's stop off Than Yoke Island, which is also where we do a beach BBQ. Captain Brian and crew have a nice fire pit dug into the sand, Chef Pui does grilled fish, potatoes, and corn, and a delicious salad. All consumed fireside on a sandfly-free beach. Complete with a lovely sunset.
