There's nothing quite like waking up to find that you are anchored near a small island that could have come straight out of a story book. This is Manava Cay in Fiji. So small that you can walk around it in 10 minutes. There is a small hut on the cay that is used by the owners when they go to the island on fishing trips. Captain Cook passengers are the only "outsiders" allowed on the cay. This is where Scruffy and I perfected our crab hunting technique, and nearly escaped Mum's eagle eye long enough to go swimming. There is only one problem with small islands like this, the food runs out very quickly if you are a small bear and are not allowed to get wet. Bears are pretty good at catching fish of course, but how can you catch fish using the wild bear methods without getting wet?
