On a cloudy, humid afternoon, in Roviana lagoon, south of Munda, RSIP officer Ege Saro skippers the inflatable around shallow-lying coral reefs. Reaching open water, he pushes it to a zippy, if bumpy, 27 knots. After a 50-min. journey, the boat arrives at Rendova Island, and Curragh and Sergeant Allenson Tiazy jump from the boat onto a small wharf at Ughele village - to be greeted by a throng of children...
